Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CHt
I help adults let go of what's holding them back from thriving, being themselves, and fully living. Some common issues I address with clients include overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, insecurity, and trauma. I also help to create more peace and joy at home for parents who are feeling defeated. Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy to address deeper work for lasting change. I offer a gentle, direct approach. If you are ready to release what has been holding you back, send an email to get started!

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship problems, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your emotional well-being and daily life. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, reduce emotional distress, and create a more meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling life. Many people seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, overwhelming emotions, relationship or family issues, grief, burnout, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck and disconnected from themselves.
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling and EMDR therapy to help clients identify and resolve the deeper issues contributing to emotional pain, unhealthy patterns, and ongoing stress. Together, you will explore current struggles and past experiences to better understand what may be keeping you feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, or unable to move forward. The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but meaningful and lasting healing that helps you regain clarity, confidence, peace, and emotional balance.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to therapy, recognizing that every person’s experiences, needs, and healing process are unique. His counseling style is warm, compassionate, interactive, and non-judgmental, helping clients feel genuinely supported, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
Using EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, and holistic therapeutic approaches, Brad helps clients process unresolved trauma, strengthen emotional resilience, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating. Therapy focuses on helping clients break unhealthy patterns, reconnect with their inner strengths, and move beyond the pain of the past so they can live with greater purpose, freedom, and fulfillment.
Healing and positive change are possible. No issue is too small or too overwhelming to address in therapy. With the right support, you can reduce stress, restore hope, build resilience, and create the life and relationships you truly want.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing private and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of your home.
