Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help ambitious, high-achieving women quiet self-doubt and feel more grounded and confident in who they are.
Maybe you’re the one everyone relies on, yet struggle to let others support you. Or there’s a sense that something feels “off,” even if you can’t quite name it. From the outside, it looks like you have it all together—but inside, you feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.
In our work together, we’ll create a space for you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and understand your needs on a deeper level. As you build this awareness, you’ll begin to make decisions with more clarity and confidence and choices that align with your values and create meaningful change in your life and relationships.
I believe you already have the capacity for healing and growth. Therapy is simply a place to help you access it.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit!

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
Therapy is not a one size fits all discipline. As an experienced therapist I recognize that adaptability is key. Your provider must be able to move within the space of the session with you as things present. This is where my experience & our rapport becomes invaluable. In my practice I strongly believe this space is for and about you. Our dynamic is intended as a tool to heal with compassion, intentionality and humor. When we can laugh we will.

Amanda Cummings Brandenburg
Psychologist, PhD
I am a counseling psychologist with a high level of personal responsibility and a strong drive to provide high-quality counseling services. I strive to individualize my services to each client’s needs and do not follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I believe therapy is an art AND a science and pay special attention to the needs and preferences of each client. I keep a small caseload to help prevent burnout and to allow myself to better focus on the individuals I serve.
I identify as a first-generation college student, a cycle-breaker, and a mother to a child with a disability called Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). I know what it is like to persevere and overcome hardships in everyday life. I also strongly value bringing humanness and humility to my counseling practice, allowing for authentic connection.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Let’s be honest—life is hard. Messy, beautiful, overwhelming, and at times downright ridiculous. If you’re struggling (like most of us are at some point), you deserve a space that feels safe, supportive, and—believe it or not—a little bit lighter.
I’m a seasoned therapist who brings clinical expertise and a human touch. That means evidence-based approaches grounded in years of experience, paired with humor, compassion, and real talk. I believe in validating your experience while gently helping you shift what’s not working.
Therapy with me isn’t about judgment—it’s about connection. I create a space where you can exhale, show up exactly as you are, and start untangling what’s holding you back. I normalize the human condition because, well, we’re all just trying to get through this thing called life. Let’s do it together—with insight, laughter, and a whole lot of heart.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Working with me means entering a space where you don’t have to hold everything together. I bring warmth, clarity, and steady guidance to our work, helping you slow down, listen to what your body has been carrying, and make sense of your experience. Together, we create room for both practical change and deeper alignment, so growth feels grounded, intentional, and sustainable.

F. Monroe Spivey
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, BMP, LCMHC
In relationship we are wounded, and in relationship we are healed. It’s both my professional and personal experience (because even I, as a therapist, have my own therapist!) that the singular most powerful predictor of successful therapy is the safe and supportive relationship between client and therapist. A therapist can be the most skilled and talented practitioner in the world, with all of the credentials, training, and certificates — yet if the client doesn’t feel authentically seen, heard, cared for and supported by the therapist — no intervention is going to land. My passion lies in co-creating a safe and sacred space with my clients such that they are able to reveal their deepest vulnerabilities, take off the masks, and reclaim the power of who they truly and authentically are, before the trauma and the wounding of the world took hold.

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
I keep therapy pretty down to earth, even though I have a solid theoretical training behind me. I use humor a lot because I genuinely believe that if you're laughing, you're learning. I can help you understand where your struggles come from, and I'll give you real steps you can take to reach your goals.
I'm confident I can help you work through whatever you're dealing with right now.

Christopher Bissell
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHCA, CSAT
I've had a broad range of experiences that got me to this point - from working on the International Space Station Power System Team to traveling for Fortune 500 companies as a business consultant. My personal story gave me a passion for working with individuals to seek deeper intimacy and more fulfilling relationships. My specialized training in emotions, addiction and thoughtful interventions helps my clients achieve their goals and build greater awareness and the ability to effectively process emotions and trauma. I love this work, and I am grateful to join in the stories of brave clients who want to better themselves.

Charlotte's position as a major banking and financial hub drives strong demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, perfectionism, and the particular pressures of corporate and executive careers. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the isolation, loneliness, and adjustment difficulties common among newcomers building community in a fast-growing city. Charlotte also has a strong faith community, and many therapists offer faith-integrated approaches alongside evidence-based treatment for clients who value that alignment. Atrium Health and Novant Health serve as the city's major institutional mental health anchors.
