Brittany Washington
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
What makes my practice, Metamorphosis Counseling and Wellness Collective PLLC, truly special is the heart, advocacy, and lived experience I bring into every session. As a passionate epilepsy advocate and someone who deeply understands the challenges of living with epilepsy, PNES, and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), I offer a safe and empowering space for those navigating the emotional toll of chronic illness. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you rebuild self-esteem, strengthen relationships, and re-author your story with compassion and clarity. If you're looking for a therapist who truly sees you, honors your journey, and advocates for your healing, I would be honored to walk that path with you.

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.

Jourdan Brickey Self-Reclamation After Survival
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
My work as a therapist centers on self-reclamation. The process of understanding how we become who we are through survival, responsibility, and relationship, and how we begin finding our way back to ourselves. Many of the people I work with are often highly capable on the outside but feel internally disconnected or uncertain about their needs, identity, or direction. In our work together, we explore the patterns that shaped you and begin building a life that feels more intentional, connected, and aligned with who you are 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.

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

Online in Charlotte, NC North Carolina (Online Only)
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.
