Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
We all experience problems in life. Therapy can help address your issues to create a happier, meaningful and fulfilling life. People seek therapy for many reasons including depression, anxiety, past trauma, overwhelming emotions, difficult life transitions, feeling stuck, relationship, and family issues, and other mental health issues. We can work to resolve issues, reduce stress, and move on. No issue is too small or too big. Therapy offers the opportunity to learn about oneself, access your inner strength and lead the fulfilling life that you want. We can work to meet your needs in a warm, supportive and caring environment.
During our sessions we will explore current and past problems to find the source of what is keeping you stuck or unhappy. Together we will break unhealthy patterns and resolve underlying issues that are keeping you from living your best life. I will be your guide making sure that you are on your path to restore your joy and go where you want to go in life.
I use EMDR and Holistic methods to build hope, resilience, and insight. I help clients explore their struggles, recognize their strengths and increase self-awareness in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space. I believe that we can resolve your problems and re-define who you are today. You can move beyond your past and can get your life back.

Barton Shulman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC (multiple states), CCMHC, BC-TMH
People come to me because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. If I had to say I have a specialty, it's seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. I work with my clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges.
I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go.
It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.

Stephanie Davis
Hypnotherapist, Cht
Your mind is just as important as your body, vice versa. What if I told you your subconscious which is 88% of your brain is your body? Hypnosis enhances the mind to body connection, which helps to heal emotional turmoil as well as stress. Hypnosis has been scientifically proven to lower cortisol levels, and boost DHEAS levels directly linked to anti-aging. What I offer is not only a learning experience, but also a means of momentary peace.
