"Building strength and confidence, one activity at a time."

Hi, I'm Grace Piechowiak! I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) with a deep passion for helping individuals overcome challenges and experience the positive impact of recreation. I graduated in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Recreation from Central Michigan University. I'm passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate mental health challenges and empowering them through the healing power of recreation. Though I'm new to the field, I've dedicated myself to preparing for this moment and I'm eager to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I work with. 

During my studies, I gained valuable hands-on experience working with both mental health and geriatric populations. I've developed a deep understanding of the unique needs and strengths of individuals facing mental health challenges, and I truly believe in the transformative impact that recreation can have in their lives. My goal is to help individuals overcome challenges, discover their strengths, and build meaningful skills through engaging, therapeutic activities.

Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family and my pets. I enjoy going on nature walks, cooking, and trying new things. I am passionate about creating safe and supportive environments where people can thrive, find joy, and discover new ways of coping with life's challenges.
