About Brad

Therapy with Brad is direct, collaborative, and built on over 25 years of specialized clinical experience working at the intersection of high performance, physical health, and psychological well-being. Nationally recognized for his work in male body image, disordered eating, and athletic performance, Brad understands the intense external pressures high-performing men face when balancing physical output, competitive standards, and mental endurance.

Brad works with executives, competitive athletes, founders, and leaders who operate in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. His background spans executive leadership in healthcare, political administration, and nearly a decade as a contract therapist for Division 1 collegiate athletics. Brad combines this deep leadership experience with clinical precision, helping men dismantle perfectionism, navigate performance anxiety, and cultivate long-term resilience without losing their competitive edge.

Clinical Focus & Expertise

Brad brings a highly focused specialization to the Fellowman team, addressing the unique psychological vulnerabilities that often accompany high achievement:

• High-Performance & Sports Psychology: Helping athletes, executives, and leaders manage acute competition stress, overcome performance slumps, build mental toughness, and navigate retirement or career transitions.

• Male Body Image & Health Pressures: Addressing body dysmorphia, rigid exercise regimens, disordered eating, and performance-enhancing substance reliance in men—an often overlooked issue in male mental health.

• Overcoming Perfectionism & Executive Burnout: Guiding men to disentangle their self-worth from external achievements, output, or physical appearance, replacing unsustainable stress cycles with grounded self-regulation.

• Leadership Development & Crisis Resilience: Leveraging his background in executive management and state policy to help leaders navigate organizational crisis, direct complex team dynamics, and communicate effectively under pressure.

Therapeutic Philosophy

• Adversity Is Part of the Story, Not the Whole Story: Brad helps men recognize that setbacks, injuries, or failures are natural chapters in a broader narrative—equipping them to reframe narrative identity and step forward.

• Grounded & Evidence-Based: Utilizing cognitive behavioral, systemic, and performance-focused frameworks tailored specifically to men who value clear metrics, structure, and actionable insights.

• Candid, High-Trust Partnership: A straightforward, respectful environment where high achievers can speak openly about vulnerabilities that are usually hidden behind success.
