Meet the Founder: Valerie Cattany, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with adults across all stages of life. My work is rooted in creating a safe, collaborative space where people can explore their inner world, make sense of their experiences, and move toward meaningful healing and change.

Much of my practice focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and the challenges that come with major life transitions, including aging. I bring extensive experience in EMDR and am certified in psychedelic-assisted therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I approach this work thoughtfully and ethically, with careful attention to preparation, pacing, and integration.

At Together In Wholeness, I believe it is essential to stay informed and engaged with evolving research and therapeutic approaches. Owning my own practice allows me to remain current and intentional in the modalities I offer. My therapeutic services are change-oriented, supporting deeper transformation and a renewed sense of wholeness.

Everyone has a story and a unique path. I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate their own journey toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding.
