Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for parenting challenges, family stress, and difficulties navigating the emotional and relational demands of raising children in today’s fast-paced and high-pressure world. Many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to manage behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, discipline concerns, or emotional disconnection within the family system.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to parenting and family counseling, helping parents understand the underlying stressors, emotional triggers, and relational patterns that may be impacting the home environment. Therapy focuses on creating practical, realistic strategies to improve communication, strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and build a more stable and supportive family dynamic.
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 both individual healing and healthier family functioning. When appropriate, therapy may also explore how past trauma, stress, or unresolved emotional experiences can influence parenting responses, emotional reactivity, and family relationships.
Parenting challenges often occur in the context of broader life stress, emotional overwhelm, and competing responsibilities. Brad’s approach helps clients develop greater emotional awareness, patience, and regulation while also building effective boundaries, coping strategies, and communication tools that support healthier interactions within the family system.
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each family’s unique needs and goals. The focus is on reducing stress, improving relationships, and creating a more peaceful, connected, and emotionally supportive home environment.
The goal of therapy is to help parents feel more confident, grounded, and supported while strengthening family relationships and fostering long-term emotional health, stability, and connection.

Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting can bring challenges that affect not only your relationship with your child, but also your partnership, stress level, and confidence in the decisions you are making. Differences in parenting styles, communication, changing family roles, or concerns about your child can create tension throughout the family. Therapy can help you better understand these dynamics, strengthen communication, and develop a more intentional approach to parenting. My work focuses on helping parents navigate challenges while building healthier relationships within the family.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Parenting can evoke deep attachment patterns and stir unresolved emotions from our own childhoods. I work with parents to understand these dynamics, increase self-compassion, and cultivate relational attunement that supports both their children and themselves.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Parenting can be deeply meaningful and also emotionally complex, especially when old patterns, stress, and attachment experiences get activated in the day-to-day relationship with your child. Many parents find themselves feeling stretched thin, reactive in ways they don’t fully understand, or carrying guilt and self-criticism even when they are doing their best.
In therapy, we create space to slow down and make sense of what is happening beneath the surface of parenting stress. This includes exploring emotional triggers, nervous system responses, and the ways your own early experiences may be shaping how you show up with your child.
Rather than focusing on “perfect parenting” or quick behavior fixes, this work supports a deeper understanding of your internal experience in moments of overwhelm. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens, we look at how patterns are passed down, and how they can be gently interrupted with awareness, compassion, and support.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we also pay attention to the body-based “felt sense” that often arises in challenging parenting moments — the tightening, urgency, or emotional flooding that can be difficult to think through in real time. Learning to stay with and listen to these internal signals can create more choice, regulation, and responsiveness over time.
This work is not about eliminating difficult emotions in parenting, but about increasing your capacity to stay present with them without becoming overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.
Many clients find that as their own nervous system becomes more regulated and understood, their relationships with their children begin to shift naturally — with more ease, repair, and connection becoming possible.
This approach is especially supportive for highly sensitive parents, parents navigating trauma histories, and those who want to break intergenerational patterns while staying deeply connected to their children.
