Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
My journey with addiction is deeply personal, having been marked by the impact of my father's functional addiction from a young age. Despite the challenges it posed to our family, his struggles provided a unique perspective on the insidious nature of this illness—one that systematically dismantles lives, relationships, self-esteem, and even financial well-being.
While some may find it surprising, I consider it a fortune to have experienced the profound effects of addiction within my family. This experience became a catalyst for my healing and understanding of this intricate and complex illness. Today, as a specialized therapist and coach in addiction, I draw upon my personal journey to not only care for myself but also guide countless others through their path to recovery.
Working with addiction is powerful because, behind the façade of this illness, attempting to soothe deep-seated pain, there is always a remarkable human being waiting to actualize their full potential. I view addiction as an illness that, with proper care, can transform into a blessing, unleashing newfound superpowers. Those who have survived the grip of addiction, embarked on a healing journey and acquired wisdom and tools can become agents of positive change in the world.
Witnessing individuals transition from the depths of addiction to a purposeful and passionate life is akin to witnessing a superpower in action. The trauma, pain, and neglect that fueled the addiction often become the driving force behind a life dedicated to health, well-being, and positive impact.
Approaching this work requires delicacy and depth. The individual undertaking the healing journey needs perseverance, a thorough understanding, and decisive action to transform the dark tunnel of addiction into a sea of light. It would be my utmost honour to guide you through this challenging and isolating experience, helping you emerge into a world of your own creation—a world filled with choices that fulfill your life and enrich the lives of those around you.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals struggling with addiction, substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, internet addiction, and gaming addiction. He works with clients seeking deeper healing from the emotional pain, trauma, stress, and unhealthy patterns that often contribute to addictive behaviors and difficulty breaking destructive cycles. His goal is to help clients restore emotional balance, improve functioning, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful and lasting change.
Many individuals struggling with addiction feel stuck in patterns of shame, isolation, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or self-destructive coping behaviors. Addiction is often connected to unresolved trauma, difficult life experiences, emotional pain, attachment wounds, or chronic stress. This is one reason why simply being told to “stop” is rarely effective. Lasting recovery requires understanding and healing the underlying issues driving the behavior.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to addiction counseling, recognizing that healing involves the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and sense of purpose. Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s individual needs, goals, and experiences. Clients are provided with a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can openly explore past trauma, triggers, unhealthy coping patterns, emotional struggles, and the deeper causes of addiction.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support recovery and long-term healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients process unresolved trauma, reduce compulsive behaviors, build self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier coping skills and relationships.
Brad believes recovery is about more than simply stopping a behavior or substance use. The goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, restore hope and self-worth, improve emotional well-being, and create a healthier and more fulfilling life without relying on substances or addictive behaviors to cope or feel better about themselves.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond addiction, regain control of their lives, strengthen relationships, and redefine who they are today.
Virtual counseling and online trauma-focused therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to professional addiction and trauma therapy from the comfort of home.
