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.

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.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
My clinical experience is wide and deep. I estimate I have conducted about 90,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, including many hours training and supervising other therapists. This experience covers many modes: individual therapy, as well as family, couple and group therapy. My basic orientation is existential and psychodynamic, but I have added much training and experience in other approaches on top of that over the years. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, ABPP, have served 2 terms as a board director and secretary for the American Academy of Psychotherapy, and previously trained young clinical psychologists and psychiatric residents at the University of North Carolina. We keep learning more about how to be effective therapists, and I have aggressively added to my clinical wisdom. I stand ready to work to understand you deeply, and help you profoundly, whatever your current dilemmas.
