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.

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.

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.

Montgomery Counseling Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA
I believe therapy works best when it is both grounded and genuinely human. My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing symptoms.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to pushing through but know something deeper needs attention.
My clinical work draws from evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and other trauma-focused methods. I am especially interested in how the nervous system, memory, emotion, and identity all interact in the healing process.
I aim to create a therapy space that is direct but compassionate, supportive but not passive. Together, we will work toward helping you make sense of your experience, reduce distress, and build a more flexible, connected way of living

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive.
A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence.
In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention.
I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family.
Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.

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.

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.
