W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life’s stressors can become overwhelming and cause a sense of being disconnected from who you once were or aspire to be. Despite your best efforts – exercising, seeking spiritual guidance, talking to trusted friends, reading self-help books – finding peace within yourself can seem like a never-ending battle. You’ve taken the critical first step toward seeking help. Let us take the next step together. As a Clinical Psychologist, I bring a genuine sense of compassion for my clients' difficulties. Together, we will work to find meaning behind emotions, discover the patterns of your thoughts, learn new skills and strategies to feel more emotionally grounded, and quiet conflicts that have lived beyond their time. I invite you to reach out to discuss your needs.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
I started CCW International because I knew there was a gap. Women were struggling in silence. Veterans were coming home carrying weight that no one around them could quite understand. And the mental health world was not always showing up for them the way they deserved.
I have been in both worlds. As a U.S. Army veteran and a licensed psychologist, I know what it feels like to be strong for everyone else while quietly wondering who is going to be strong for you. That lived experience shaped everything about how we show up for our clients.
At CCW International, we do not just treat symptoms. We see the whole person. We ask about your story. We honor your service, your sacrifices, and your resilience. And we walk with you as you find your way back to yourself.
Our team is made up of clinicians who genuinely care, who bring both clinical expertise and human warmth to every session. We specialize in trauma recovery, resilience-building, and evidence-based care designed specifically for women, veterans, and military families.
If you have been waiting for a sign that it is okay to ask for help, this is it. We are here. And we are ready when you are.

Allison Bernardo
Pre-Licensed Professional, Resident in Counseling
As a LGBTQ+, first-generation Filipina woman, I know how meaningful it is to feel understood and accepted without having to explain every part of your identity. I strive to create a warm, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you’re healing from difficult family relationships, navigating grief, exploring your identity, working through relationship concerns, or processing life’s unexpected challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. My hope is that therapy feels like a place where you can be honest, feel supported, and leave each session with a greater understanding of yourself and the confidence to move toward the life you want.

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.
