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.

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.

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.

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.
