Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for relationship issues, including communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, recurring conflict, and difficulty maintaining healthy and fulfilling partnerships. Relationship challenges can affect emotional well-being, daily stress levels, family dynamics, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals or couples feeling stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected.
Brad takes a holistic and collaborative approach to relationship counseling, helping clients identify and understand the emotional patterns, attachment styles, and past experiences that may be contributing to current relationship difficulties. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore both present-day challenges and underlying relational or trauma-related factors that may be influencing how partners connect, communicate, and respond to one another.
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 support healing and healthier relationship functioning. Treatment focuses on improving communication, strengthening emotional awareness, reducing reactivity, and developing more secure and supportive relational patterns.
Relationship difficulties are often influenced by deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, attachment wounds, family-of-origin dynamics, and individual personality differences. Brad’s approach helps clients understand these deeper influences while also focusing on practical, present-day changes that improve connection, trust, and emotional safety.
Therapy is tailored to each individual or couple’s needs and is designed to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where both partners (when applicable) can feel heard and understood. The goal is to support meaningful, lasting change rather than temporary conflict resolution.
Healing and growth in relationships are possible. With the right support, clients can rebuild trust, improve communication, and create healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling relationships.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Relationships can be deeply fulfilling—and deeply challenging. I use evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method alongside somatic and parts-based work to help couples improve communication, repair conflict, and strengthen emotional connection. Therapy provides a structured, supportive space to create lasting change together.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most couples do not come to me in a crisis. They come in tired. The same argument on a loop, the roommate feeling, the distance that crept in so slowly neither of you can name when it started. I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you get underneath the fight to what you are each actually asking for. The goal is not to win. The goal is to feel like a team again.
The best time to build a strong marriage is before you are standing in the hard part. Premarital work with me is not a box to check before the wedding. It is real conversation about money, family, faith, intimacy, and the expectations you each brought without knowing it. You will leave with a shared language for the seasons you cannot see yet.
