My communication style is without judgment. Meaning my clients can rest assured that they are in a non-judgmental, safe space where they can receive support and genuineness. I bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding to our sessions.

I prefer my clients to feel like someone is listening to them, my environment is relaxed and nonjudgmental.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe and genuine conversation. My role is to listen closely, help you feel understood, and work with you to uncover patterns that may be holding you back. I draw on both psychotherapy and psychiatry, so we can address the whole picture—your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and, when helpful, medication support. I value collaboration and tailor treatment to each person’s unique story and goals. My hope is that our work together not only eases current struggles but also helps you grow in ways that feel meaningful and lasting.

Find Your Balance. "I think I'll stay in bed today...or maybe for the whole week?..." ( ╯□╰ ) "What in the heck is going on? Is it just me?" ╮（╯＿╰）╭ "AHHH!?!?!" (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ The ills of life can manifest in different ways. Finding balance can be difficult, whether it involves TIME (events from the past interfering with your ability to live in the present), BODY (feeling anxious, out of control, or restless), EMOTION (feeling too much or almost nothing at all), or MIND (being unable to focus or experiencing an unhealthy fixation), among other things. Only you know your experience. I can support you as you uncover, recognize, plan, and heal, one step at a time.

Have you experienced things in your past that continue to affect how you feel, think, or respond to life today? Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, painful memories, relationship patterns, self-doubt, or a persistent feeling of being overwhelmed. You may understand what's happening intellectually, but still find yourself reacting in ways you wish you could change. You don't have to keep carrying those experiences alone. I'm Brad Croyle, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of experience helping adults work through trauma, anxiety, childhood experiences, and difficult life patterns. I'm an EMDR-Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, with specialized experience in trauma-focused therapy, attachment issues, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). I specialize in EMDR therapy and trauma-focused treatment, helping people process difficult experiences that may continue to influence their emotions, relationships, and everyday lives. My approach is warm, genuine, direct, and collaborative. I integrate EMDR therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches to help you process difficult experiences, develop healthier patterns, and move toward meaningful change. I believe therapy should offer more than a place to talk. It should help you gain insight, experience meaningful emotional change, and develop the confidence to move forward. You don't need to be in crisis or have everything figured out to begin. If something in your life isn't working the way you'd like, I'd welcome the opportunity to help you explore what's happening and find a way forward. I offer a free consultation so we can talk about your needs and determine whether working together would be a good fit. There's no pressure, just an opportunity to connect. Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, hiking, mountain biking, photography, reading, gardening, roasting coffee, and maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

At Starobin Counseling we focus on helping people repair and strengthen their relationships with themselves and their relationships with others. We regard relationships as central to the therapeutic process. Some challenges in life are purely personal, but most problems express themselves in the intersections people have with other people. Therapy helps people repair their inner selves, often injured by relational ruptures, and learn and practice being in relational health with one another. Therapy helps people hear themselves think, experience feelings, gain new perspectives. We help people recognize and strengthen their own vitality and resiliency so they can unlock their capacity for compassionate and meaningful connections. We are a neurodiversity-minded, neurodiversity-affirming, gender-affirming, and culturally aware and sensitive practice.

My practice is focused on experiencing power through change. I curate wellness and healing, centered on building your belief in hope, and implementing functional steps toward change. Life's journey can be intricate, layered, and unpredictable, often leaving us overwhelmed with anxiety and depression. As a Psychotherapist with a PhD in Clinical Sexology, I specialize in helping individuals and couples regain control and find fulfillment through psychotherapy and sex therapy (polykink positive). With a trauma-informed and integrative approach, including EMDR and cognitive-based therapy, I empower clients to transform their lives. Let's embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery together.

I work with adults navigating burnout, identity shifts, grief, and relationship struggles, as well as those seeking clarity after trauma or major life transitions.

I provide individual therapy (in person andor virtually) for late adolescents and adults in the greater Washington, DC area and I am PsyPact licensed so can see people in participating PsyPact states. I also provide comprehensive ADHD assessments. I have a particular passion for working with young adults who are figuring out and navigating their next "chapter" of life. I aim to help individuals capitalize on their strengths and work with their limitations, change their responses to interpersonal problems, and help them form new and improved healthy relationships and ways of relating to their world that does not repeat previously unhealthy patterns. By bringing support, encouragement, humor, and a nonjudgmental perspective to our work together, I meet clients where they are, whether they have been to therapy before or are exploring therapy for the first time. Knowing how important the therapy relationship is, my primary goal is to make my clients feel heard, understood, and hopeful. I adapt my approach and style, as needed, to work with my clients' unique needs. I am always happy to jump on the phone for a brief consultation to determine if we may be a good fit to work together.

We all encounter times in life when shadows loom large. In those moments, we need someone to walk beside us and help us see the light that is always there. I’ve lived through a variety of challenging experiences, and I know how much that support means. I decided at the age of 12 to be a counselor, and I never wavered from that path, no matter how the shadows fell. I’m passionate about helping others find the light within and see it around them as they move through and overcome their shadows. Working with children and teenagers is especially close to my heart. I use many tools in therapy, which allows me to customize treatment for the person in front of me. If you’re struggling to find the light and need someone to walk beside you, please reach out. We weren’t made to walk this path alone.
