More about Brad

I view therapy as the journey to reconcile the story we have written for our life with the reality that exists. I am a licensed mental health and clinical addictions counselor in Indiana. I have acquired experience in a variety of settings that include: drug court, community mental health, university counseling center, and private practice. I have been an adjunct psychology professor for undergraduate and graduate studies at Marian University in Indianapolis, IN.
I have expertise in treating addictions, mood disorders, anger management, grief, adjustment issues, self-esteem issues, and pornography addiction. I received my master's degree in clinical psychology from the University of Indianapolis. I trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, dialectical behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and motivational enhancement therapy.
A therapist must perform good self-care in order to provide good care to others. I achieve my self-care by playing guitar, piano, fishing, and playing with my kids. I look forward to making progress with you on your journey to a healthier you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Brad is a superb counselor. Everyone should experience someone like him as he is very knowledgeable about many different things. He is equipping me with coping skills before we delve into some of the trauma I have experienced in my lifetime. He doesn't just tell you what coping skills to do. He actually does them with you! He is very sensitive and understanding. He always has something positive to say when he responds to your messages. He is very concerned for your safety. I cannot say enough about him. He is awesome!
Brad is genuine and understanding. He provides insight and perspective to my problems and has encouraged me through difficult times. He is the best counselor I have ever talked to.
Brad is absolutely wonderful to talk to as he listens very well and boils down complicated issues into something easy to understand. Life-changing!
Brad is a fantastic counselor who has helped me dig into a lot of my problems. He is so easy to get along with and has been really easy for me to open up and tell him my problems. Brad is wonderful and has been such a blessing to my life! If you get him you are very fortunate.
Brad is great!! He listens well and provides timely feedback.
Have only gone through one session but I could see myself doing this weekly to by weekly Dr. Dobson was super easy and fun to talk to and has a way of breaking down ideas and issues into simple to understand pints.
