Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
Do you find yourself gripped by worry and struggling to get enough things done in a day, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with your endless to-do list that never gets done, feeling guilty that you are not good enough. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to make choices in your life that line up with what is important to you. You're ready to learn new skills to feel calm everyday. Most of all, you're ready to embrace who you are and enjoy your life.

Dr. Cierra Listermann
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSP-P
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.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

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.
