Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When emotions feel intense and relationships become painful or unstable, it can feel like you are stuck repeating the same patterns. We will take a respectful, nonjudgmental approach to understanding what is happening underneath those cycles. I help clients build steadier coping, clearer boundaries, and healthier ways of relating so life feels more manageable and relationships more stable.

Personality Disorders
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals experiencing personality-related difficulties, including long-standing patterns that impact emotional regulation, relationships, self-image, and overall functioning. These challenges are often associated with chronic interpersonal conflict, emotional instability, difficulty maintaining relationships, and persistent patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that feel hard to change.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach, recognizing that personality-related patterns often develop in response to early childhood trauma, attachment wounds, emotional neglect, abuse, or invalidating environments. Therapy focuses on increasing insight, emotional awareness, and the ability to understand and gradually shift long-standing relational and behavioral patterns.
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 deep and lasting change. Treatment often involves exploring past experiences, attachment dynamics, and core beliefs that continue to influence present-day relationships, emotional responses, and identity.
Personality-related challenges are typically persistent and deeply rooted, which means meaningful progress often requires consistent, structured therapeutic work. Rather than focusing only on surface-level behaviors, therapy emphasizes understanding underlying emotional pain, processing trauma, and developing healthier ways of relating to self and others.
Brad also works with couples and families when appropriate to support improved communication, healthier boundaries, and more stable relational dynamics. This collaborative approach can help reduce conflict, increase understanding, and support more balanced and functional relationships over time.
The goal of therapy is not to label or define a person, but to support emotional growth, greater self-awareness, and the ability to build healthier, more stable, and more fulfilling relationships. With the right support and commitment, meaningful change is possible.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.
