Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for parenting challenges, family stress, and difficulties navigating the emotional and relational demands of raising children in today’s fast-paced and high-pressure world. Many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to manage behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, discipline concerns, or emotional disconnection within the family system.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to parenting and family counseling, helping parents understand the underlying stressors, emotional triggers, and relational patterns that may be impacting the home environment. Therapy focuses on creating practical, realistic strategies to improve communication, strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and build a more stable and supportive family dynamic.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support both individual healing and healthier family functioning. When appropriate, therapy may also explore how past trauma, stress, or unresolved emotional experiences can influence parenting responses, emotional reactivity, and family relationships.
Parenting challenges often occur in the context of broader life stress, emotional overwhelm, and competing responsibilities. Brad’s approach helps clients develop greater emotional awareness, patience, and regulation while also building effective boundaries, coping strategies, and communication tools that support healthier interactions within the family system.
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each family’s unique needs and goals. The focus is on reducing stress, improving relationships, and creating a more peaceful, connected, and emotionally supportive home environment.
The goal of therapy is to help parents feel more confident, grounded, and supported while strengthening family relationships and fostering long-term emotional health, stability, and connection.

Dr. Amy Schullery
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help new moms and dads adjust to parenthood. Bringing a new baby into the house is stressful. We work on effective strategies to balance everything, maintain a good relationship, and adapt to an expanding family. I work with moms while they are pregnant, postpartum, and parents that have multiple children too. Dads need help adjusting too. I also work with parents with older children- to help them develop effective strategies for parenting, having good relationships with their growing kids, and adjusting to kids growing up or moving out of the home.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
I am so grateful for the privilege to be both a mother and therapist, as both identities have deepen my understanding of the other, as well as my confidence and grace in navigating both roles. Becoming a mother over 6 years ago has deepened all of my clinical understandings of secure attachment and attunement, and has allowed me to connect more deeply with my clients. When I work with parenting concerns, I come from an attachment-based approach, holding both high connection and healthy boundaries as paramount in navigating the challenges of parenting.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also one of the hardest jobs in the world—especially when raising a neurodivergent child. I work with parents to strengthen communication, increase understanding, and create supportive structures at home. Using tools like the SPACE program, I help parents reduce accommodating behaviors driven by anxiety and replace them with strategies that encourage growth and resilience. Together, we’ll build a calmer, more connected family dynamic.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
I repeatedly hear my clients who are parents (especially those who are parents of young children), that they often feel unsupported and left behind, both by those who surround them, and by society as a whole. Being a parent isn't easy in the best of times, but being a parent in the current times can feel impossible. To all of the parents out there, I see you, and recognize the unique struggles you have had to confront. I often help parents find their way through parental burnout, balance parenting obligations with demanding work schedules, and find a sense of peace amongst the anxiety and uncertainty that can accompany raising children.

Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting brings great joy and sometimes great challenges. As children mature the complexities involved in parenting them can make parenting feel much more demanding and at times more uncertain. The stakes get higher. Parents can feel alone or unsure for a myriad of reasons. If a child is ill or a family has experienced a loss or other unexpected events it can be difficult for parents to know what to do. I have worked with many clients who were experiencing parenting issues who benefitted from the safe space, problem solving and parent training that psychotherapy can offer.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience conducting therapy, psycho-educational assessments, and psychological evaluations with children and adolescents. As such, I have expertise in child development that I bring to my work with parents who are looking for help navigating the challenges that can come with raising kids. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist or parenting coach that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about you, your family, and your reasons for seeking help with parenting. Then we can plan together from there. Starting therapy or parenting work can feel daunting or overwhelming to many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of both maximizing your parenting strengths and exploring options for ways to modify your parenting choices in areas that feel more challenging to you.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming, stressful, and filled with uncertainty. Whether you’re navigating the early years, supporting a child through adolescence, or balancing your own well-being while caring for your family, therapy can provide a space for guidance and support. I help parents develop effective strategies for communication, discipline, emotional regulation, and connection—while also addressing feelings of burnout, guilt, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening your confidence as a parent, improving family relationships, and creating a healthier balance for both you and your child.

Dr. Sharon Herzog
Psychologist, PsyD
Many of my clients struggle with the emotional demands that come with being a parent. It doesn’t matter if their children are young or fully grown, being a parent is a constant source of fear and love and major focus of one’s emotional well-being.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Parenting can bring deep meaning alongside ongoing pressure to be patient, present, and emotionally available at all times. Many women find themselves navigating exhaustion, self-doubt, or the tension between caring for their children and maintaining their own identity. In our work together, we focus on understanding how your own experiences shape your parenting responses, strengthening your internal footing, and developing ways to show up that feel grounded and sustainable for both you and your family.
