I communicate with empathy and clarity, focusing on understanding your unique needs. My approach is collaborative - we'll work together to identify solutions and strategies that resonate with you. Expect an open, judgment-free dialogue as we navigate the path toward your wellness goals.
Welcome. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of criticism. Together, we'll work to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you move toward a more fulfilling life. My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual's unique needs. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, dialectical, relational, and other evidence-based approaches, I adapt therapy to fit your goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity development, life transitions, or the stresses of everyday life, I strive to provide therapy that is compassionate, insightful, and grounded in practical change. I have particular expertise in working with postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and completed advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. I have extensive experience supporting college students, graduate students, and young professionals through my years working in university counseling centers. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming care, creating a welcoming and inclusive space where clients can explore issues related to identity, relationships, and life transitions with authenticity and support. Above all, I value creating a therapeutic experience where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to make lasting change.
Are you feeling overwhelmed to the point that is effecting your focus or ability to sleep at night? Do you find your self feeling sad or not feeling anything at all and you can't see to enjoy even your favorite activities and interests? I am a licensed professional counselor who has been helping people experience breakthough in their minds and emotions for over 6 years. I have a fiery passion for helping people gain insight into their patterns of behavior, including linking their past to their present. I have a compassionate, client-led approach to therapy, tailoring the work that I do to each individual client. I start by completing a comprehensive intake assessment where I screen each person who comes to see me for various mental health conditions. I always provide information along the way and share with clients what I observe and any diagnoses that I assess them with. Then I work with the person to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to identify the goals and objectives of therapy within the first month of counseling. Within the working process, I combine compassionate, empathetic listening with teaching practice skills to provide an avenue for making change possible.

I strongly believe in your inherent ability to grow and change-- to survive neglect, hardship, and trauma and become stronger and more resilient. I help people find their strengths and learn to accept and even love their vulnerabilities. I teach coping skills and I listen intently.
I believe that the best way to help you is to listen to the changes that you would like to make, and develop a treatment plan specific to your concerns and your personality. In many cases, no one therapeutic approach fits every one or every issue, so my goal is to make a you feel comfortable and understand more about your personal journey. The decision to pursue therapy can be difficult for many people, but it indicates that you want to change or improve certain aspects of your life, creating stronger relationships, a higher level of self-confidence, more focus and direction and many other areas for improvement.
Life asks a lot of us right now. The news never stops, work follows us home, money feels tight, and everyone's phone is always buzzing. If you're also raising kids, holding a marriage together, or carrying something from your past, it's no surprise if you feel tired, anxious, or like you're barely keeping up. You don't have to have it all figured out to be here. You don't need a crisis or a diagnosis either. You just need to be ready for something to feel different. I'm Brad Croyle, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR-Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant with more than 25 years of experience. I work with adults who are dealing with: • Stress, anxiety, burnout, and the constant pressure of modern life • Trauma, PTSD, and childhood abuse or neglect • Parenting stress, guilt, and the challenge of raising kids in today's world • Marriage, relationship, and family struggles • Addiction and compulsive behavior, including compulsive sexual behavior • Infidelity, secrecy, and broken trust, whether you caused the hurt or experienced it • Emotionally abusive, controlling, or narcissistic relationships • Feeling stuck, trapped, or unable to change a long-standing pattern I'm a private-pay therapist, so your care is decided between you and me, not by an insurance company. We can focus on what matters to you without insurance rules about diagnosis, session length, or number of sessions. Your sessions are confidential and private. I use EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I'm warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. You can tell me things that feel hard or embarrassing to say out loud, and I'll be honest with you in return, because I think you deserve both kindness and a real plan. The first step is a free consultation. We'll talk about what's going on and whether I'm the right fit. There's no pressure. A little about me: Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, hiking, mountain biking, photography, being outdoors, reading, gardening, roasting coffee (and drinking it!), and maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
If your child is having frequent meltdowns, struggling to listen, or seems overwhelmed by big emotions, it can feel exhausting trying to figure out how to help, when nothing you try seems to fully work. I specialize in child-centered play therapy, which allows children to express and process what they are feeling in a way that matches their developmental level, through play. Many of the children I work with are dealing with anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional outbursts, or difficulty adjusting to changes at home or school. In our sessions, your child has a safe, consistent space to work through what is going on internally, while I help you better understand their behavior and feel more confident in how to respond at home. I support parents throughout the process so you feel more equipped, less overwhelmed, and not left guessing. My goal is to help your child feel more regulated and understood, and to help you feel more connected and confident as a parent.

WE CAN HELP HEAL YOUR RELATIONSHIP. "Why does my partner overreact?" "Why do I get so triggered?" "How come the punishment doesn't fit the crime?" “Why can’t he be more supportive?” “Is anything I do ever enough for her?” While you are feeling hurt, you have an added layer of confusion. You simultaneously love your partner and even hope to stay in this relationship to keep your love, family, and dreams intact. You are torn in a tug-of-war of emotions and desire to feel understood, accepted, and embraced by your partner. HEAL YOUR RELATIONSHIP AT ITS ROOT! Your dynamic is being driven by vulnerable and deep emotions. Those deep emotions are sensitive ‘raw spots' that are easily provoked and can cause you intolerable emotional discomfort- and leads to a “fight-or-flight” (anxious, angry, avoidant) response. This starts a negative cycle that creates more distance between you. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE! In therapy with us, you will learn strategies to respond differently and avoid slipping into old negative cycles of criticism, questioning, defensiveness, shutting down, and avoidance. We’ve helped HUNDREDS of people experience EMOTIONAL INTIMACY by learning how to effectively share and receive each other’s deeper emotions.
