Domestic Abuse
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, coercive control, or the lasting psychological effects of unsafe or harmful relationships. Survivors of domestic violence often experience trauma responses such as anxiety, hypervigilance, depression, shame, fear, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from themselves and others.
Brad takes a holistic, trauma-focused approach to healing from domestic abuse, helping clients safely process their experiences and begin rebuilding a sense of stability, self-worth, and emotional safety. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace without judgment, pressure, or fear.
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 traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, and restore a sense of control and grounding. Treatment focuses on supporting nervous system regulation, rebuilding self-trust, and helping clients move out of survival-based patterns into healthier, more empowered ways of living.
Healing from domestic abuse often involves more than talk therapy alone. When trauma is deeply embedded, it can affect emotional regulation, relationships, decision-making, and physical well-being. Brad’s approach focuses on addressing the root impact of trauma so clients can experience meaningful, lasting recovery rather than short-term coping.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, supporting each client’s unique needs, safety considerations, and healing goals. The process often includes strengthening boundaries, improving emotional resilience, rebuilding identity, and restoring the ability to feel safe in relationships again.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, survivors of domestic abuse can move beyond the effects of trauma, reclaim their sense of self, and build a life grounded in safety, strength, and emotional freedom.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.
