Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for individuals and couples navigating infertility, adoption-related stress, pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, and the emotional impact these experiences can have on identity, relationships, and mental health. These deeply personal journeys often bring grief, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation, relationship strain, uncertainty about the future, and emotional overwhelm.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to infertility and adoption counseling, helping clients process the emotional complexity of these experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Therapy provides space to explore grief, expectations, identity concerns, past trauma, and the emotional impact of medical or life circumstances related to fertility and family building.
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 help clients process emotional pain, reduce distress, and build resilience during difficult life transitions. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional balance, strengthening coping skills, and supporting clients in making meaningful, values-aligned decisions about their next steps.
Infertility and adoption-related experiences can also surface unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or long-standing emotional pain. Brad’s approach helps clients understand these deeper layers while also supporting present-day emotional needs, communication within relationships, and healthy decision-making moving forward.
Therapy is collaborative, individualized, and focused on creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, validated, and understood. The goal is to help individuals and couples navigate these challenges with greater clarity, emotional stability, and connection while moving toward healing and hope.
Healing is possible, even in deeply painful and uncertain circumstances. With the right support, clients can find meaning, resilience, and emotional peace as they move forward on their unique path.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Infertility and adoption are often talked about in overly simplified, polished ways—focused on outcomes instead of the complexity it takes to get there. What’s often left out are the layers of grief, loss, waiting, uncertainty, and the emotional toll of navigating systems that can feel invasive, inequitable, and out of your control. People are quick to offer platitudes or silver linings, while you’re left holding experiences that don’t fit neatly into those narratives. Cultural expectations around parenthood, family, and what it means to have children can add even more pressure, especially when your path doesn’t follow what’s been normalized or expected.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t rush you to acceptance or try to reframe your experience into something more “positive.” We make space for the full reality—grief alongside hope, anger alongside longing, and the complicated decisions that come with both infertility and adoption. We also name the systemic and cultural dynamics at play, including access to care, bias within medical and adoption systems, and the ways certain family structures are prioritized over others. Together, we help you process what you’ve been through, navigate ongoing decisions, and stay connected to yourself in the midst of it. This work is not about forcing closure—it’s about supporting you in moving through something that is deeply personal, often painful, and deserving of more honesty than it usually gets.

The road to expanding a family can be an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you feeling lonely, overwhelmed, and disconnected from your own body. I provide a steady, safe space to process the intense grief, anxiety, and identity shifts that come with infertility, IVF, and postpartum depression.
