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.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with parents at all stages, from early childhood through adolescence, helping them navigate the often complex and evolving challenges of raising children. Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but also demanding, and many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stretched in ways they didn’t anticipate.
My approach focuses on helping parents better understand their child’s emotional and developmental needs, while also making space for their own experience. I work collaboratively to strengthen connection, improve communication, and address patterns that may be contributing to conflict or stress within the family.
I also bring particular sensitivity to parenting within adoptive, donor-conceived, and other non-traditional families, where additional layers of identity, communication, and connection may emerge over time.
Above all, I aim to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and effective—so they can show up for their children with both clarity and compassion.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Parenting can be rewarding and incredibly frustrating at the same time. I help parents address behavioral concerns, communication problems, discipline, boundaries, co-parenting conflicts, and disagreements about parenting approaches. The goal is to develop practical strategies that work for your family rather than trying to follow a one-size-fits-all formula.
