I'm an active listener who listens without judgment. I provide reflection while working to understand your concerns and to help clarify issues.

I deeply value communication and being an active listener to my patients. I provide direct feedback on the issues they are working through. It takes a great deal of courage to seek counseling, so I work with my patients to reach their goals.

Feeling stuck in your relationship? Grieving a loss that others don’t seem to understand? Or struggling with anxiety that’s quietly hijacking your day-to-day life? You don’t have to face it alone. I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, grief, and relationship conflict with compassion, clarity, and direction. My approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and systems-based counseling, which means I don’t just look at symptoms, I help you identify strengths, shift patterns, and build new ways forward. Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or just feeling numb and disconnected, therapy can be a space to reset. I use evidence-based techniques, paired with a healthy dose of empathy and occasional humor, to help clients feel both seen and supported. I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to be real, and I create an environment that allows just that. Clients often come to me when they’re overwhelmed by relationship tension, family challenges, personal loss, or internal pressure to "keep it all together." Together, let's explore what’s working, what’s not, and what new choices are available to you. I’m licensed in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Connecticut, and I offer virtual therapy for busy professionals and couples who want expert support without commuting or rearranging their lives. If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving, whether in your relationship, your grief, or your inner world, let’s work together to build connection, clarity, and healing. Book a free consultation or visit my website to learn more.

Whether you and your partner are struggling due to a rupture in trust, a major life transition, or uncertainty about alignment in goals for the relationship, I help couples gain deeper clarity so they can make meaningful progress toward long-term, sustainable growth. My clients have done well for themselves in many aspects of their lives, but feel lost about how to address the frustration, disconnect, and overwhelm in their relationship that may have them repeating painful patterns. As a relationally focused therapist, I’ll help you develop better insight into those patterns, explore the underlying functions and needs driving these dynamics, and build new ways of relating that foster connection and shared meaning in your life together. You deserve expert-driven therapy that is relatable, effective, and affirming, and you’ll find it here. I offer a safe, supportive space for people of color and LGBTQ+ couples. I also offer a unique perspective and support for clients navigating long-distance relationships, decision-making around marriage andor parenthood, adoption, and protecting their own families from intergenerational patterns that have persisted in their family of origin. Finding the right therapist is so important to getting the most out of couples therapy. Reach out for a free 20-minute video consultation so we can determine whether I’m the right therapist for you. Let’s get started!

As a mindfulness-based relationship specialist, I help you build a solid foundation for you to create an exceptional relationship. Good relationships require both personal and relational growth. For this reason, I can work with you individually or partnered. I embrace a compassionate approach to help you navigate tough conversations, strengthen self-expression, and practice healthy accountability. You will learn ways to take responsibility for the health of your relationship(s), decrease personal stress, increase empathy and compassion, strengthen connection, and improve your sex life. I also enjoy working with women individually who want to better understand their evolving sexual selves, who want to learn to quiet their thoughts and trust their intuitive wisdom and live in alignment with their minds, bodies and spirit. My integrative approach allows me to play an active role in helping you heal your body, mind, and heart by offering guidance, direct feedback, and home practice exercises. My therapeutic style incorporates an eclectic blend of Eastern and Western methodologies, drawing on cutting-edge research in the field of mindfulness, relationships, and sexual health. Together, we examine how your individual thinking, relationship dynamics, family, social circumstances, and physical health all impact your relationship as a whole. My academic and educational background combines with my personal experiences practicing mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual attunement. I offer morning, daytime, and some evening appointments, both in-person and through video conferencing (telehealth). To make an appointment with me at Center for Intimate Relationships, click the links to call or email me, or contact me through my website.

People don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy; oftentimes, those who contact me are managing feelings that have been building up over time. I have niche experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees and directed a new program at UNMC aimed at understanding burnout. I enjoy working with college and graduate students, international students, and did this at counseling centers like MIT. I especially like working with adults in general, and new parents. I completed my APA internship and postdoc in the Penn System where I saw a variety of people living with a range of feelings. I believe that addressing feelings and understanding where they stem from, and how to manage them, can help people navigate life's challenges in relationships, work, school, and beyond. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, emotionally rich and confidential environment for individuals to explore what's on their mind. Collaborating on other areas of your life that you may want to examine, such as your relationships with others (romantic, friendship, personal, professional) is something I find joy in. I look forward to meeting you and potentially working together to uncover not just what might be holding you back or keeping you up at night, but your strengths as well.

Welcome. I’m glad you’ve taken this step to move forward in your life. We all experience places in our lives where we need support and new skills, in order to move beyond where we are, which often is causing pain in our lives. I bring experience and a strong skillset to our sessions, having worked with my clients around stress, depression, anxiety, relationship bumps, childhood issues, social anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, avoidance of conflict, and feeling stuck. In addition to traditional therapy skills, I integrate breathing skills, relaxation skills, and the practice of mindfulness into our sessions. Often, your ability to slow things down in a stressful situation in order to stay totally present on what is happening, allows you the opportunity to make changes in your life. I realize that the relationship I create with my clients really impacts their path forward. It’s important to feel comfortable, heard, and not judged, in order to openly explore your thoughts and feelings, and begin to take some risks by thinking and behaving differently. A good fit is important, so I offer a thirty-minute complimentary phone consultation. It gives us the opportunity to talk more about your focus, you can experience my style, and I can share ideas of how I could work with you. Everyone is at a different place when they take this first step. I find that I work well with clients who want to move beyond venting and are ready to create real change in their life. I bring experience, a belief in your ability to make positive change in your life, and a willingness to accompany you on the journey.

If you have found yourself in the midst of a change or are looking for your life to feel different, you are in the right place and I am here to help. My goal is to come alongside you and meet you where you are...to be with you as you dig deeper. Together we can work to heal pain from the past and help change your future.

Having someone with you to validate your feelings while you navigate change can be a powerful experience and I would be honored to be that person for you. The right therapeutic fit can make all of the difference so give me a call or send a message and we can find a time to talk about if we might be a good fit.

Life can sometimes feel unpredictable. Plans you've made have fallen through, people you've relied on seem to be too busy to help, and everyday tasks keep piling up. My approach to therapy is focused on helping clients create realistic goals that support the lifestyle they desire. Therapy is more than talking; it's an opportunity to process and explore, in a judgment-free space, in order to build upon strengths and identify areas ready for change. I take a collaborative approach, helping you clarify goals, understand what’s getting in the way, and develop meaningful steps toward lasting growth. My focus is to guide you through periods of transition, strengthen your coping skills, and address behaviors that may be holding you back. I have been working from a client-centered, integrative approach for over 20 years. I focus on creating a nonjudgmental and collaborative relationship with my clients that promotes healthy communication and steady progress towards wellness goals. My approach draws from my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and family systems therapy. Together, we can help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and develop the skills you need to improve overall health and wellness.

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.
