Ingrid Sthare
Life Coach, CTLC, BCC
Considering Divorce? Please call me before you call an attorney! What can seem like you're heading for a break up can be a breakthrough to a deeper connection; despite infidelity, loss of a child or lack of intimacy. You are perhaps feeling shame or anger and you're anxious to take the first step; yet you want to try everything for yourself and your family. Maybe you've tried other methods such as marriage counseling to no avail. Please call for a free consult! Or you're looking to rebuild after a breakup and feel like you've lost yourself. My premarital work helps curb divorce stats! Prefer a 100% confidential
therapeutic process from the start? Most relationship issues do not involve a mental health diagnosis. Rather, you’ve adapted to and from broken models. Through relationship education you will learn new models and tools to equip yourself for the relationship you want with yourself or someone else.

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.
