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.
Nicolas Queen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with six years of experience working with people who are seeking help with depression, anxiety, adjusting to life events, trauma, and other mental health concerns. He is open to working with adults and teens.
