I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience supporting adults through a variety of mental health challenges and life experiences.

My approach is person-centered and tailored to your individual needs, goals, and experiences.

Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing, build on your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel challenging, but reaching out is a sign of strength. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and a greater sense of well-being.

You might look like you have it together from the outside: steady job, functioning relationships, managing the day to day. But inside you're running on fumes, and you're tired of just pushing through. I work with young adults, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the frustration of feeling stuck without knowing why. I'm also an Army veteran, and I bring firsthand experience of what pressure, resilience, and major transitions actually demand. If faith is part of how you make sense of life, it's welcome here. If it's not, that's fine too. Clients often tell me I'm surprisingly easy to talk to.

Licensed Professional Counselor • Licensed Addiction Counselor • Clinical Supervisor • EMDR-Trained • Board Certified Telemental Health Provider • Nationally Certified Counselor • Certified Life Coach • Natural Medicine Facilitator in Training

Something brought you here. Maybe it's the anxiety that won't quiet down, the depression that won't go away, your reliance on substances holding you back, or the weight of traumatic experiences you've been carrying longer than you can remember. Or maybe it's something else entirely.

I'm Bradley — a master's level, dually-licensed mental health and addiction counselor who knows what it means to be human and how to navigate the challenges of our full human experience. I spent over three decades in business, technology, consulting, teaching, training, and military service before devoting my life to service.

Since 2015, I've worked as a mindfulness, meditation, and contemplative wisdom teacher, a somatic practice guide and natural medicine facilitator, a researcher, writer, and now as a therapist. Today, I help my adult clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and the deeper questions that often lie beneath them. I also support people through major life transitions, grief and loss, existential inquiry, identity exploration, career alignment, family dysfunction, relationship dynamics, and more — combining evidence-based practice, modern neuroscience, applied psychophysiology, and contemplative reflection into a holistic approach that focuses on the root causes and conditions that cause suffering in our lives.

I know what it is to stand on one side of the doorway and I know what it is to stand on the other side of that very same doorway and now I help others cross the threshold for themselves... If I can help you cross that threshold, if you're ready, then I'm here.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Aurora

Finding addiction therapists in Aurora starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to work on. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also include a prescriber as part of their care team.

Aurora offers a range of therapy options, with access to in-person offices and virtual appointments across the area. Virtual care can also expand your search if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience or a schedule that fits your week. Recovery can move in more than one direction, so it helps to look for a therapist whose bio reflects a nonjudgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, or substance use concerns. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how they describe session structure before booking.

Addiction therapy in Aurora can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and plan for care. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to check coverage and estimated costs for the therapists available in Aurora. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated session cost before you book, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
