About PiC WellnessYou Are a Perfectly Imperfect Creation
At PiC Wellness, we believe every person is a perfectly imperfect creation deserving of compassion, acceptance, and the opportunity to thrive.
Life's challenges can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our purpose, and the things that bring us joy. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, recovery, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater balance and fulfillment, PiC Wellness is a place where healing, creativity, and connection come together to support your journey.
Founded by Claudette Ruehl, LC-ADC, PiC Wellness was created from a simple but powerful belief: healing doesn't require perfection. It begins with self-compassion, authentic connection, and the courage to embrace ourselves exactly as we are while continuing to grow into who we are becoming.
Our approach combines evidence-based therapeutic practices with creativity, education, mindfulness, nature, and community. We recognize that healing looks different for everyone and that meaningful growth often happens when people feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered.
Our Mission
At PiC Wellness, we believe every person is a perfectly imperfect creation deserving of compassion, acceptance, and the opportunity to thrive. Through therapy, creativity, education, and meaningful connection, we empower individuals to cultivate resilience, discover their strengths, and create lives aligned with their values and purpose.
Our Vision
We envision a world where individuals recognize their inherent worth, embrace their perfectly imperfect humanity, and live with greater self-compassion, resilience, and purpose.

We meet people where they are, offering kindness, understanding, and support without judgment.

Meet Claudette
Claudette Ruehl, LC-ADC, is a licensed therapist, educator, artist, and wellness advocate dedicated to helping others discover their strengths and embrace their authentic selves.
Drawing from years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges, Claudette brings warmth, compassion, creativity, and practical guidance to every interaction. Her work is grounded in the belief that healing is not about becoming perfect—it's about becoming more fully yourself.
When she's not counseling, you'll likely find her creating art, spending time in nature, enjoying life on her small farm, or developing new ways to combine creativity, wellness, and meaningful connection.
Our Promise
PiC Wellness provides a compassionate space where healing, creativity, and authentic growth come together to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Because your imperfections do not diminish your value.
They make you beautifully human.
