Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family challenges. These difficulties can affect every area of life, including emotional well-being, physical health, work performance, relationships, and overall sense of stability and fulfillment.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional, psychological, and life experiences that may be contributing to distress. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, therapy works to identify root causes and develop lasting change that supports emotional balance and improved daily functioning.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and build healthier coping patterns. Therapy is designed to support both immediate relief and long-term healing.
Clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or as though stress and anxiety are controlling their lives. Brad’s approach focuses on helping clients regain a sense of control, build resilience, and develop practical tools to manage emotional challenges more effectively. The goal is to shift from feeling managed by stress to feeling grounded, capable, and in control of one’s life.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. Brad works with clients to create meaningful, sustainable changes that improve relationships, strengthen emotional well-being, and support a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond chronic stress and emotional overwhelm and build a life characterized by greater clarity, stability, and purpose.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In psychotherapy, when working with clients dealing with stress, I rely on evidence-based interventions to help them manage and reduce their stress levels effectively. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving. Additionally, I incorporate stress management techniques such as relaxation exercises and mindfulness practices to help clients build resilience and cope with stress in a more balanced way. By combining these strategies with practical problem-solving skills, I support clients in creating actionable plans to address their stressors and develop adaptive coping mechanisms. My goal is to empower clients to gain control over their stress and enhance their overall well-being, providing them with the tools and insights needed to lead a more manageable and fulfilling life.

Stress: From Constant Pressure to Systemic Calm
Moving Out of Survival Mode and Back into Your Life
Stress is often minimized as a "part of life," but when it becomes chronic, it is a physiological and systemic crisis. It is the feeling of being permanently "on," where the minor inconveniences of life trigger a massive internal overwhelm. In my practice, we don’t just look at your "to-do" list; we look at the systemic and neurological roots of why your body has stayed in a state of high alarm.
The Architecture of Overwhelm
Chronic stress isn't just about having "too much to do"—it is about a nervous system that has lost its way back to safety. Together, we explore:
The Burnout Cycle: Addressing the "adrenal fatigue" and emotional exhaustion that come from living in the "gap" between your resources and your responsibilities.
The "Fawn" & "Freeze" Responses: Understanding how your stress might manifest as people-pleasing (fawning) to keep the peace, or a total shut down (freeze) when things get too heavy.
Demand Avoidance: Identifying how chronic stress can lead to a "rebellious" brain that avoids even simple tasks as a desperate bid for autonomy.
A Clinical Approach to Regulation
With over 20 years of experience, I use a multidimensional framework to help you lower the "baseline" of your stress:
Somatic Regulation: We focus on the "gut-brain axis" work to help your body physically exit the stress response.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "Manager" parts of you that believe if you stop being stressed, everything will fall apart. We work to build trust so these parts can finally soften.
Systems Theory & Power: We acknowledge the external stressors—social inequity, workplace toxicity, and family dynamics—that are not "in your head," but are real systemic pressures that require boundaries rather than just "coping."
The "Healer's" Burden
I have a specialized focus on the unique stress of therapists, pastors, and medical professionals. When you are the "sturdy container" for everyone else’s crisis, your own system often pays the price in secret. I provide a confidential sanctuary to address the secondary trauma and professional pressure that leads to systemic collapse.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we recognize that while stress is an inevitable part of a high-achieving or transition-filled life, it doesn’t have to lead to burnout or physical exhaustion. We view stress through a holistic lens, understanding how the "always-on" nature of modern life compounded by cultural pressures and family responsibilities can keep your nervous system in a state of constant survival. Our approach focuses on moving from reactive "firefighting" to proactive regulation. We help you identify your primary stressors and develop a personalized "resilience toolkit." By teaching you how to quiet the physiological stress response and set healthy boundaries, we empower you to handle life’s demands without losing your sense of inner peace.

Bamboo Center for Grief, Growth, & Well-being
Psychologist, PsyD
LIVE WITH MORE EASE, FOCUS, AND FULFILLMENT
Change, even positive change, can be stressful and difficult. That’s why we take an integrative, holistic, and companioning approach in life transitions therapy. Companioning consists of walking with clients, rather than “treating” them as if there is something pathological happening. As we move through the therapeutic process, you will be able to identify your strengths, acknowledge your incredible resilience, and learn skills to reduce your sense of stress and tension. This often leads to increased self-confidence, a sense of peace, and greater ease – all of which will help you move forward with optimism and courage.

While moderate levels of stress serve an important purpose and can be adaptive, heightened or prolonged stress can be incredibly depleting. In our sessions, we can work to identify the contributors of stress in your life, build your resources and strategies for navigating it, and identify other internal or external mechanisms that are influencing how it's showing up in your life, thus allowing us to move towards lessening your stress to levels that feel workable.
