Amanda Durham
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPCC-S, NCC
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you’ve lost your sense of self? Whether you're navigating the early stages of motherhood or facing the pressure of college and early career life, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in working with women and young adults who appear “high-functioning” on the outside but are silently struggling with anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, or life transitions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I provide a supportive space to help you process your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and build practical tools to feel more confident and in control.
I offer flexible telehealth sessions for clients across Kentucky. Whether you're a new mom adjusting to major life changes, or a college student balancing expectations and anxiety, I’m here to support you. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation.

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.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
I aim to build on your strengths (even if you aren't sure you have any!), and help you find clarity in what you want in life, and how to get there. By gaining insight into the origins of your concerns, and patterns in relationships, you can be more intentional in how to engage with others and how to cope better with challenges.
I provide honest and direct feedback to my clients, with sensitivity to how you might recieve it. I believe strongly in authenticity and compassion.

Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and the Hamburg area. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
