Self Psychology
Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.

Self Psychology
Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Self Psychology
Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

Self Psychology
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
We often think of ourselves as what we are given, but instead it's what we make of what we're given. I am guided by a view of identity as a creative narrative and see distress as often occurring when we feel stuck in that creation, bound to selves and lives that aren't working. The goal in therapy is not only to understand how and why we got stuck, but to reengage with our creative and imaginative selves, allowing us to explore new facets of ourselves and experiment with new ways of being. In many ways, we reduce suffering by reintroducing play in our worlds.

Self Psychology
Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Anxiety, depression, or recurring difficulties in relationships can leave you caught in patterns you understand only partly. I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults seeking relief from what hurts and a fuller understanding of themselves. My practice draws on Jungian, psychoanalytic, and existential traditions, with careful attention to the particular life and experience of each person. I meet clients in SouthPark, Charlotte, and online across PSYPACT-participating states.
