I strive to maintain a genuine, caring, and welcoming atmosphere for a strong and collaborative counseling relationship to flourish.

In the beginning, sessions may look like me providing more directed questions or prompts to start. I want you to drive the ship. I often state "Correct me if I'm wrong", because I want you to help me understand what you are saying and need. I want the session space to be relaxed and non-judging. You are the expert on your life. I help give you the tools to work into your story.

Are you uncertain about your relationship? Perhaps trust has been broken, feelings have shifted, or another connection is calling your attention. These doubts can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. Take a step today—explore your feelings, clarify your values, and navigate your decision-making process. Begin your path to insight, peace, and understanding. You don’t have to face this alone.

I believe the relationship or "fit" between the therapist and the client is one of the most important factors in psychotherapy. With a trusted, compassionate therapist, you will talk through everything that is on your mind and receive professional advice and honest, caring feedback. You can put your thoughts into words without feeling dismissed or judged. Therapy will help you relieve current struggles and feelings, experience more self-confidence, make better decisions, feel in control of your life and relationships, and resolve painful past and current experiences and traumas. I will work with you to identify and understand underlying issues or patterns that may contribute to your current struggles. We will work to develop new approaches and alternative ways to manage relationships and struggles.

Does your child struggle with stress and anxiety? Is it difficult for him or her to make positive choices, manage emotions or perform in school? Teenagers and young adults face unique challenges in life, and it can be very overwhelming for them and you, the parent. I work with adolescents and young adults, ages 12-25, to help them understand stress and anxiety. We work together to overcome their obstacles and self-doubts; helping them focus on building positive thinking and behaviors to achieve their life goals. Together, your child and I focus on his or her role in overcoming setbacks, embracing challenges, and utilizing skills like optimism, resilience and grit to achieve his or her ideal self. I employ positive psychology and solution-focused counseling to help your child set priorities, identify goals, and develop strategies for emotional and mental well-being. I understand the difficulties our young adults face everyday and I know each individual is capable of achieving their goals with proper supports! Contact me at MBS Performance Counseling today in order to help your son or daughter take the first step to setting priorities, creating positive thoughts and discovering the amazing things they can accomplish!

I approach therapy as a partnership between you and me. You know you best and I know mental health. Between the two of us, we will develop a customized approach to help you heal from long-term wounds that just don’t seem to shift with self-help books, podcasts, or short-term work. I work best with individuals who are committed to treatment and thrive in developing a long-term relationship with a provider to help navigate complex issues like generalized anxiety, trauma, dissociation, and attachment issues. Most of my clients work with me on childhood trauma they have spent a lifetime avoiding, but now notice showing up in daily life as panic attacks, insomnia, appetite problems, relationship issues, and unpleasant memories.

I have experience and a passion for working with clients through a faith-based lens, including Christian counseling, healing from spiritual trauma, or deconstruction. I also enjoy working with clients living with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image, self-esteem struggles, relationship or workplace difficulties, and those walking through grief. I have worked in various settings, from helping students better learn when addressing their emotional needs to providing family reunification services to people who have been formerly incarcerated.

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.

I believe a strong, trusting relationship with your therapist is the foundation for meaningful growth and change. In our work together, I meet you where you are, with empathy, compassion, and without judgment. My holistic approach focuses on your mind, body, and spirit, and I integrate both traditional and alternative therapies to support your overall well-being.

When you feel stressed out, overwhelmed or anxious, it can stop you from being spontaneous, from trying new things, or enjoying life.

I'm licensed in Maryland and Delaware and I want you to live your life with more intention and feel greater fulfillment in everything you do. Telehealth only.
