Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for sleep disorders and sleep-related difficulties, including insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, restless sleep, nightmares, and disrupted sleep patterns. Sleep challenges can significantly impact mood, energy levels, concentration, emotional regulation, physical health, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to sleep issues, recognizing that sleep disturbances are often connected to stress, anxiety, unresolved trauma, emotional dysregulation, or nervous system activation. Therapy focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying factors that may be interfering with healthy sleep, rather than only treating symptoms at the surface level.
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 nervous system calming, emotional processing, and long-term sleep improvement. Treatment may include exploring past experiences that contribute to hyperarousal, anxiety, or difficulty feeling safe and settled at night.
In addition to trauma-focused work, therapy may also incorporate practical sleep hygiene strategies, relaxation techniques, stress reduction skills, and behavioral approaches that support healthier sleep patterns and improved rest over time.
Brad’s approach is collaborative and individualized, helping clients develop a personalized plan that addresses both emotional and behavioral contributors to sleep difficulties. The goal is to restore healthy sleep cycles, improve daily functioning, and support greater emotional balance and overall well-being.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can improve sleep quality, reduce nighttime anxiety, and regain the restorative rest needed for physical, emotional, and mental health.

Chronic insomnia can be frustrating, leaving you feeling tired, stressed, and unable to function at your best. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals overcome sleep difficulties without relying on medication. CBT-I focuses on changing the thoughts, behaviors, and sleep habits that contribute to poor sleep. Our approach includes: - Sleep Education: Understanding the science of sleep and how lifestyle choices affect your rest. - Cognitive Restructuring: Identifying and challenging negative thoughts and anxieties about sleep. - Sleep Restriction: Gradually adjusting sleep patterns to help improve the quality and duration of rest. - Relaxation Techniques: Managing stress and promoting a calm mind to prepare for restful sleep. With secure telehealth services, we provide personalized CBT-I treatment, helping you restore healthy sleep patterns and improve overall well-being. You don’t have to struggle with sleepless nights—there is a solution.

Psychologist, PhD
When sleep becomes unreliable, insomnia can quickly affect mood, concentration, and overall functioning. Many adults find themselves caught in a cycle where stress, racing thoughts, or irregular sleep patterns make it increasingly difficult to rest. I help clients identify the factors contributing to insomnia and develop practical strategies that support healthier, more consistent sleep.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Having a specialty focus in grad school in behavioral medicine where I also developed severe insomnia, has left me passionate and compassionate about insomnia in particular. I know way more about treating insomnia than the average therapist and use a variety of techniques in addition to worry management, stimulus control, sleep hygiene, and what I call "the win-win trick." If worries keep you awake, I truly believe that I'm your best but. If you have other forms of insomnia, you might do better with a CBT-I certified therapist.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
