Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting is one of the most humbling experiences a person can have — and one of the least supported. I work with parents navigating the emotional weight of raising children, particularly adoptive and foster parents whose parenting journey carries layers that traditional parenting resources rarely address. Whether you're trying to understand a child's behavior through an attachment lens, navigating conversations about identity and belonging, or simply trying to show up for your family while also taking care of yourself, this is a space where parenting's real complexity gets the attention it deserves.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for parenting challenges, family stress, and difficulties navigating the emotional and relational demands of raising children in today’s fast-paced and high-pressure world. Many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to manage behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, discipline concerns, or emotional disconnection within the family system.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to parenting and family counseling, helping parents understand the underlying stressors, emotional triggers, and relational patterns that may be impacting the home environment. Therapy focuses on creating practical, realistic strategies to improve communication, strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and build a more stable and supportive family dynamic.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support both individual healing and healthier family functioning. When appropriate, therapy may also explore how past trauma, stress, or unresolved emotional experiences can influence parenting responses, emotional reactivity, and family relationships.
Parenting challenges often occur in the context of broader life stress, emotional overwhelm, and competing responsibilities. Brad’s approach helps clients develop greater emotional awareness, patience, and regulation while also building effective boundaries, coping strategies, and communication tools that support healthier interactions within the family system.
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each family’s unique needs and goals. The focus is on reducing stress, improving relationships, and creating a more peaceful, connected, and emotionally supportive home environment.
The goal of therapy is to help parents feel more confident, grounded, and supported while strengthening family relationships and fostering long-term emotional health, stability, and connection.
