About Catherine Johnston

As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the unique emotional landscapes of adults navigating significant transitions, relationships, and personal growth.

I specialize in helping clients address depression, drug and alcohol issues, anxiety, domestic violence, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem challenges. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding, heal from past experiences, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

My practice centers on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with their inherent strengths. Whether you’re struggling with life transitions, interpersonal challenges, or seeking greater emotional resilience, I’m committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

I welcome individuals from all backgrounds who are ready to engage in thoughtful, compassionate self-exploration and personal growth.
