Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
At PSYCHē, we specialize in pairing clients with their perfect therapist. We’re a private network of expert, hand-selected psychologists and counselors across multiple states, offering solid, research-based therapies that work. Our services include Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, DBT Skills Groups, RO-DBT Skills Classes, and Child & Adolescent Therapy.
Not sure where to start? That’s where we come in. The first step is our Consultation Package: a 30-minute online meeting with a Therapy Services Specialist (TSS) who knows the right questions to ask. We’ll review your history, goals, and what you’re looking for (and not looking for) in a therapist. From there, we match you with the clinician best suited to your needs.
The Consultation Package is $650 and includes your 30-minute meeting, record review, written recommendations, and your first therapy session with your matched clinician, so you can start therapy sooner. You’ll also be introduced to your Clinical Concierge, who will guide and support you throughout treatment. If the fit isn’t perfect, we’ll make it right.
With immediate openings and some of the top therapists in the nation, available in multiple states, let us do the searching for you. Schedule your Consultation Package today.

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.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I bring my relational and authentic self to my identity as a psychologist - wanting you to experience me as both human and professional. I bring curiosity and engagement to our discussions, and will be an active participant in the process of walking alongside you as we explore your life. I am casual in my approach and strive to create a space where you can come to trust me and allow me a window into your whole self.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.
