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.

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

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.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
I am a relational therapist at heart. We exist in an ecosystem floating in the universe, surrounded by nature and each other. We don't get injured alone, we can't survive on our own, and we rarely heal alone. The fundamental role I play as a therapist is to provide you a safe relationship. I believe that safety is the primary catalyst for healing.

Dr. Cierra Listermann
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSP-P
I'm currently accepting a limited number of new clients, with priority availability for CPT Intensives.
I became a psychologist because I believe people deserve more than simply learning how to cope with what hurts. They deserve the opportunity to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. My work is centered around helping adults virtually across North Carolina who have experienced trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, and difficult life experiences understand themselves with greater compassion and move toward the life they want to create and experience living.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel truly seen and understood while also having a psychologist who can provide the knowledge, structure, and guidance needed to support meaningful change.
I specialize in helping clients work through the lasting effects of traumatic experiences, including PTSD, complex trauma (C-PTSD), anxiety, depression, grief, burnout and chronic stress, and major life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches that are proven to work while honoring that every person’s healing process looks different. Your experiences, your goals, and your chosen pace matter.
I believe therapy works best when it is a partnership. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to help you better understand yourself, challenge the beliefs that may be holding you back, and build the confidence and skills to move forward.
Your story is uniquely your own—your therapy should be too.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.
