Codependency Therapists in North Scottsdale, Scottsdale, AZ

Brad’s approach in working with individuals and groups is born out of his own challenges in resolving family of origin issues, dysfunction and generational codependency and addictions. His work in his own personal counseling combined with his educational pursuits have provided Brad with many tools and experiences to help others find their way to a more balanced and productive life. Brads focus is to help individuals increase their awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that do not support their goals and to help individuals move in a direction of peace and healthy relationships.

I am all about empowering and guiding adults on their journey to self-discovery. I will partner with you to achieve your desired emotional and life goals. When counseling is used effectively, it can be a powerful tool for all areas of your life. If you are ready for change and commit to applying the skills you learn, you will walk away from counseling with the necessary tools to face life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is simple, I will focus on symptom reduction and provide you with skills to practice between sessions to help you become self-reliant. Don't let this moment escape, start creating evolution in your life.

I am an experienced, Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Life Coach who cares and can help! I have over 25 years experience working with adults 21 years and older in a variety of settings. I offer counseling (www.hedberglpc.com) and life coaching services (www.lifecoaching4men.com). I work mainly with men with a broad range of problems such as: life transitions (divorce, job loss, grief), anger/stress management, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexual performance issues (ED), addictions, mental disorders, family issues, grief, codependency , low self-esteem, school/career problems, and life goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in treating addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety and bereavement. I earned my Bachelor of Education Degree in my early adulthood. After teaching for several years, I earned a Master's Degree in counseling and have been in the counseling field since 1996; working extensively with addiction issues and trauma. My goal is to help promote wellness in clients, helping them connect their emotional, mindful and "soul" selves in a compassionate and challenging manner to promote growth. I have assisted Pia Mellody in her PIT Trainings. See my Facebook page: Wellness with Willis.

My passion is to help men understand what they want from life and to address what is getting in the way. Issues that get in the way include addictions of all kinds, depression, anxiety, and anger. Perhaps a partner is unhappy and suggests change needs to happen and soon, or else. Asking for help is often the most difficult decision for men to make. The pain and fear we feel tells us something is wrong. But if we ask for help what does it say about us? Shouldn't we be able to handle this on our own? The most courageous thing you can do is to reach out to and ask for help. I am offering that help. No Judgement.

Accepting NEW Clients. I received my undergraduate degree from Washington State University in Speech & Hearing Sciences, (2000). Through various life experiences of my own, it became my goal to learn as much as I could about addiction and I decided to go back to school. I received a master’s degree in Addictions Counseling in 2018 from Ottawa University and have since completed a second master’s degree in counseling (2022), also from Ottawa University. I utilize an eclectic approach because everyone is different and what works for one person might not be appropriate for the next.

Do you find yourself feeling disconnected? Perhaps you have trouble letting go of the past or setting boundaries with your partner or other family members. Maybe you can’t stop thinking about your childhood or problems with your current relationships. Many people I’ve worked with responded to overwhelming experiences by disconnecting from their body, which led to problems like anxiety, traumatic-stress, and depression. I have helped many individuals navigate through these and similar challenges. It may feel like your life will always be a struggle, but it doesn’t have to be. You deserve help and support as you move forward.

I specialize in trauma, depression (including perinatal mental health issues), anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders challenges, emotional codependency , as well LGBTQA related issues. I am a licensed professional counselor, with extensive trauma training. I primarily use a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) approach so healing can begin today. I also provide psychoeducation so you understand the dynamics. I am personable, a very good listener, and passionate about your healing. I often use humor as part of the healing process.

Are you someone who thrives on insight, curiosity, and self-agency, and wants the next level of healing and integration? Are you interested in exploring how adaptive survival patterns from childhood are now in the way of connection to yourself and others? Do you want to work with someone who incorporates intention, curiosity, reflection, and somatic and emotional awareness?

Finding peace, clarity and happiness isn't easy when life brings confusion, pain, loneliness and disconnection from yourself and others- and I'd like to help. There is hope for change. I know because I've been through struggles too, and because you are reading this now I believe this is your time to reach out and claim your inner power and authentic self waiting to bring you joy. To assist in your journey, I use experience together with training I receive as a therapist at The Meadows, a world-renowned treatment facility for anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship issues, along with several other treatment models.

Not accepting new clients. If you've been feeling plagued by a sense of hopelessness or feeling stuck in life, then what I'd most like to help you do is find your way out of the fog. Throughout my career I've helped clients that have struggled with addiction and trauma regain hope and become the best version of themselves. I take a trauma focused approach to help clients to get to know themselves again, or sometimes even for the first time. It has been an incredible honor and pleasure to help people sort out the chaos of their past and find hope and joy again. I would love to help you to overcome your trauma and find your resilience

Is trauma getting in your way from becoming who you want to be or doing what you want to do? Imagine moving toward unburdening yourself of the weight given to you through that trauma. If you have ever found yourself struggling with a lack of motivation, feeling stuck, issues within your relationships, internal messages of inadequacy, shame, addiction, or other issues leading to life feeling overwhelming, I can help. The world is always changing and life can be difficult to navigate while coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or unrealistic expectations (set by self or others).

If you find yourself frequently feeling overwhelmed, struggling in your relationships or using alcohol, drugs, sex, food, exercise, pornography, or other types of behaviors to help deal with the highs or lows. If you look outside of yourself for validation or a sense of self, or the ways that you've learned how to deal with life are no longer working. It is possible to connect with yourself, experience your emotions in a healthy way, and feel intimate or balanced. Feeling more secure in yourself and the events of the past is achievable.

I help the Overfunctioning Woman end people-pleasing, perfectionism, and guilt. Perhaps you say Yes, when you really mean No. Maybe the anxiety of what “they” think overwhelms you. You're probably more comfortable figuring everything out on your own, rather than counting on others to help. And my guess is you're exhausted from living this way. But you're not sure what needs to change, or where to even begin. I've been where you are. I used to struggle with all of this. And then I embarked on my own healing journey, and returned home to myself. Now I want to help you do the same. To raise your standards and become your own BFF!
