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.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Hi there! I'm John, a Resident in Counseling hailing from the beautiful state of Virginia. My professional journey is fueled by a special interest in tackling LGBTQIA+ issues, relational conflicts, life transitions, and more. I firmly believe in creating a safe haven for clients to explore their concerns, and I integrate various therapeutic modalities like trauma-informed, client-centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy into my practice.
Armed with Master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic and Legal Psychology from Marymount University, I'm an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, an international counseling academic honor society.
Before joining CCG, I honed my skills at a DC community health center, where I had the privilege of working closely with the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals dealing with chronic conditions. My experiences ranged from navigating complex trauma to supporting clients through discrimination, chronic illness, and the nuances of the coming out process.
Beyond the counseling realm, you'll find me savoring the joys of cooking, exploring new destinations, delving into a good book, and relishing quality time with friends and family.

Mirjana Ivanisevic, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
In my therapy practice, I emphasize the use of empathetic listening, compassionate guidance, and a collaborative process to help my clients meet their goals for therapy. I use a combination of active listening, validation, and challenging unhealthy patterns to help clients develop insight into the psychological underpinnings of their distress, we couple this with strategy building to use healthier coping strategies to improve their quality of life. I emphasize solution-focused strategies (e.g., skill building, cognitive and emotional processing) to introduce healthier coping strategies, strengthen their psychological health, and improve their quality of life.

Jessica Rizk, Healing Hearts VA LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
At Healing Hearts VA, our work is centered around helping individuals better understand themselves within the context of their relationships. We specialize in supporting clients who struggle with overthinking, people pleasing, and anxiety in relationships, especially those who find themselves stuck in patterns they do not fully understand but deeply want to change.
We believe that many of these struggles are not random, but are rooted in meaningful experiences, attachment patterns, and learned ways of coping that once served a purpose. Our approach is grounded in helping clients slow down, gain insight into these patterns, and begin responding to themselves and others in more intentional, self respecting ways.
Our goal is not to change who our clients are, but to help them feel more secure, confident, and grounded in themselves. We support clients in learning how to set boundaries without guilt, communicate their needs more clearly, and experience relationships without constant anxiety or self doubt.
We strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and non judgmental, where clients do not have to filter themselves or worry about being misunderstood. For those who are interested, we also offer the option to integrate faith into the therapeutic process in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
At the core of our work is the belief that lasting change happens through both insight and practical steps. We are committed to helping our clients not only understand their patterns, but also build the tools needed to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
