Jullee Capshaw
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC, NCC
I believe the relationship between myself and my clients is the most important part of therapy. My clients have full autonomy to lead us where they would like the session(s) to go. I provide gentle, yet direct, feedback to my clients. I specialize working with young people and adults who have experienced trauma, are struggling with self-harm, depression, and relationship issue(s). It is so important for clients to feel safe when they are processing such intimate, and sometimes painful, emotions. I believe all people deserve to be seen, heard, and believed in.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, stress, or uncertainty about the future start to take over. I specialize in helping men, young professionals, and veterans navigate the complex challenges of modern life—including identity, purpose, relationships, and emotional regulation.
I am Damon Neely, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I provide online therapy for adults across multiple states who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and life transitions. My practice focuses particularly on men’s mental health, helping clients address issues such as perfectionism, low self-worth, anger, relationship conflict, and the pressures associated with modern masculinity.
Many of my clients are men who appear successful on the outside but internally feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about their direction in life. Therapy provides a confidential and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deeper patterns that influence your thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
As a veteran therapist, I also enjoy working with military members and veterans navigating the transition from service to civilian life. These experiences often involve identity shifts, relationship adjustments, and the search for renewed purpose.
My approach to therapy is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from several therapeutic models including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Existential Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy
Family Systems Theory
While techniques are helpful, the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, challenged in a healthy way, and empowered to develop greater self-awareness.
In our work together we may explore topics such as:
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Depression and emotional numbness
• Identity and life purpose
• Masculinity and role expectations
• Anger management and emotional regulation
• Relationship and communication issues
• Fatherhood and family dynamics
• Self-worth and confidence
• Personal meaning and life direction
My work is heavily influenced by existential psychology, which focuses on helping individuals create meaning, develop authenticity, and align their lives with their deepest values.
Many clients come to therapy believing something is “wrong” with them. Often the real issue is that they have never had the space to examine their experiences, beliefs, and emotions in a supportive environment.
Therapy can help you gain clarity, challenge limiting narratives, and develop the insight necessary to create meaningful change.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, therapy can help you reconnect with your values, purpose, and direction.

F. Monroe Spivey
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, BMP, LCMHC
In relationship we are wounded, and in relationship we are healed. It’s both my professional and personal experience (because even I, as a therapist, have my own therapist!) that the singular most powerful predictor of successful therapy is the safe and supportive relationship between client and therapist. A therapist can be the most skilled and talented practitioner in the world, with all of the credentials, training, and certificates — yet if the client doesn’t feel authentically seen, heard, cared for and supported by the therapist — no intervention is going to land. My passion lies in co-creating a safe and sacred space with my clients such that they are able to reveal their deepest vulnerabilities, take off the masks, and reclaim the power of who they truly and authentically are, before the trauma and the wounding of the world took hold.

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.
