Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!

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.

Eileen Griffin
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! I work with adults who are ready to look beneath the surface and understand what’s really driving their struggles. I’m particularly drawn to the complicated places where old experiences show up in current relationships, self-doubt, anxiety, grief, or the ways we protect ourselves.
I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest without having to perform, explain everything perfectly, or make your pain more palatable. We’ll take your experience seriously while also being willing to question the stories you’ve been carrying about yourself.
The work can be challenging. It can also be surprisingly relieving to finally have somewhere to put all of it.

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.
