      Therapist and Coach

      I am Dr. Rolla Bradley. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Ph.D. in Education. I have spent the last 20 years working with adolescents in a public school setting. My area of expertise is in two major areas. 1. Masculine development, particularly understanding the path that moves men to leaders. 2. Adolescent development (puberty to late 20's), focusing on how young men develop and the issues that they face quietly and frequently alone. I work with clients using multiple approaches. All of this is a result of my own experiences in adolescents and young adulthood. I have loving parents. I lived in a good home in a good area, surrounded by good people. But, my development took a long time. I struggled with academic issues, friendships, being bullied, and just not fitting in. Over time, and with the help of Godly people in my life, I made the turn and began to experience success. My passion is helping young men negotiate the road of masculine development and leadership. www.drrolla.com Show less
