Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.

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.

Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression?

Tori Buckley
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I mostly work with clients living and loving in unconventional ways (including artists, entrepreneurs, highly sensitive people & spiritual types) and work to cultivate a safe place for all people, most frequently working with clients in queer, ethically non-monogamous, & kinky relationships. Most of my clients are wanting to work on issues mostly unrelated to but within the context of these communities and lifestyles, and are tired of spending so much time explaining the context to therapists unfamiliar with their world. I also work with folks looking to explore these aspects of themselves for the first time.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.
