Brittany Washington
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
I specialize in helping clients understand and manage anxiety by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they can explore the root causes of their distress. Using evidence-based approaches like compassion-focused and solution-focused brief therapy, I guide clients in developing practical tools to calm their nervous system, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build emotional resilience. Whether anxiety stems from chronic illness, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.

Corey Connelly
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LCAS LCMHC
Anxiety causes us oftentimes to avoid and isolate. Through cognitive behavior therapy, exposure work, and dialectical behavior therapy, I work with clients on challenging this avoidance in order to help you cope more effectively with the anxiety you struggle with.

Anxiety
Dr. Cierra Listermann
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSP-P
Anxiety is often more than feeling worried or having racing thoughts. It can be your mind and body trying to protect you after experiencing stress, trauma, or situations where you felt unsafe or powerless. I help clients explore how past experiences may be contributing to patterns of hypervigilance, overthinking, fear, or difficulty feeling at ease. Through trauma-informed therapy, we work to understand these responses, develop healthier coping strategies, and rebuild a greater sense of safety and control.

Anxiety
Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety has a sneaky way of hijacking your thoughts, draining your energy, and convincing you that everything is a bit more catastrophic than it probably is. Whether it shows up as constant worry, racing thoughts, sleepless nights, or that uncomfortable tightness in your chest, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help clients understand and work with their anxiety—not just try to outrun it. Using mindfulness-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused tools (with a dash of humor), we’ll explore what your anxiety is trying to tell you—and how to respond in a way that feels empowering instead of paralyzing.
You’ll learn how to ground yourself, create space from your thoughts, and reconnect with what matters most—even when anxiety tries to take the wheel. Fear might still visit (because hey, it’s human), but it doesn’t have to drive your life.
Let’s turn down the volume on anxiety and help you breathe a little easier.

Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carries often works with clients struggling with perfectionism, anxiety and people pleasing.
Overthinking leaves you stuck in your head and draining your energy. You second-guess your every decision and struggle to be productive with procrastination. Or maybe you have a hard time saying "no" to others, leaving you burned out, or, resentful. Imagine how much you can accomplish you without perfectionism, burnout, and self-doubt holding you back. Carrie helps clients go from burned out to boundaried. From overthinking to taking action. From emotionally spiraling to grounded and resilient.

Anxiety
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Sexual anxiety, performance fears, or the quiet worry that something is “wrong” with your desire or body can create distance in your relationship or within yourself. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we gently unpack where the anxiety comes from—whether it’s rooted in past experiences, shame, or repeating patterns—and help you rebuild confidence, presence, and pleasure. Many clients notice they can finally relax, communicate their needs more openly, and experience intimacy that feels good instead of pressured or scary.

Anxiety
Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
I approach anxiety through a somatic, anti-capitalistic, anti-colonial, and feminist framework. I do this because it helped me process a lifetime of battling with anxiety. I believe anxiety can be a perfectly normal response to the way our society is rewarding individualism, materialism, and poor boundaries, particularly with work. I enjoy helping clients find their way back to joy while providing practical, evidence-based stress/anxiety-management skills.

I work with clients struggling with Generalized Anxiety and Social Anxiety. We work to identify triggers, increase the ability to challenge the anxiety spiral distortions that may consume your thinking patterns and build coping skills that you will actually engage in.

The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we take time to study what is happening on the surface and underneath, then turn that clarity into workable steps.

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.
