Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who feel stuck, unmotivated, disconnected, or weighed down by self-criticism and discouragement. Depression can be especially frustrating for high achievers who are used to pushing through problems but now feel unable to function the way they normally would. In therapy, we work on understanding the patterns contributing to depression, rebuilding momentum, improving coping skills, and reconnecting with values, relationships, and meaningful goals. My goal is to help clients feel more hopeful, capable, and engaged in their lives.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad Croyle provides trauma-informed therapy for depression, persistent sadness, emotional exhaustion, burnout, low motivation, hopelessness, and difficulty finding meaning or enjoyment in life. Many high-achieving professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with depression while continuing to meet the demands of work, family, and daily responsibilities. Despite outward success, many feel emotionally disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to experience fulfillment the way they once did.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to depression counseling, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional, relational, and trauma-related factors that may be contributing to depressive symptoms. Depression is often more than simply “feeling sad.” It can stem from unresolved trauma, chronic stress, perfectionism, burnout, unhealthy relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, or years of carrying emotional burdens without adequate support.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients process unresolved emotional pain, reduce emotional overwhelm, improve resilience, and reconnect with a greater sense of clarity, purpose, confidence, and emotional balance.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a tailored treatment plan based on their unique goals, lifestyle, and personal experiences. Therapy is designed to go beyond surface-level coping strategies by helping clients identify and resolve the underlying patterns that continue to fuel depression, stress, and emotional disconnection.
Many high-functioning individuals have learned to push through emotional pain while appearing successful on the outside. Over time, this can lead to chronic stress, emotional fatigue, strained relationships, loss of motivation, and difficulty feeling present or fulfilled. Brad provides a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore these challenges and begin making meaningful changes that improve both emotional health and quality of life.
The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but helping clients restore emotional balance, strengthen relationships, improve self-awareness, and create a healthier and more fulfilling life aligned with their values and goals.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Depression can place significant strain on a relationship, often leading to disconnection, communication challenges, increased conflict, or feelings of isolation for both partners. This is exactly at a time when people are actually needing greater connection. Through the Gottman Method, couples therapy helps partners better understand how depression impacts the relationship dynamic while strengthening emotional support, communication, and support. Therapy focuses on creating a secure and compassionate partnership, helping couples navigate difficult emotions together rather than feeling alone in them. By building healthier patterns of interaction and emotional responsiveness, couples are more resilient.
