Dr. Dorothy McCoy
Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in NC , and SC LPC , Certified Integrative Counselor
Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.
As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
Sculpting meaning from our lives can be challenging especially during difficult times. I am a licensed clinical Psychologist who provides evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and am a Linehan Board Certified clinician with an expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have an expertise treating a wide range of mental disorders with a specific focus on problems of emotional dysregulation including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders.
I strive to understand individuals within the larger context of their lives rather than focusing on simplistic diagnoses or labels. This stance allows me to practice psychotherapy in a genuine, relational, and compassionate way while at the same time while remaining firmly rooted in theory and providing treatments that have been shown to work.
My style is direct, thoughtful, and often irreverent. I value a strong therapeutic relationship and aim to be honest and open in treatment to encourage direct communication and help co-create a therapeutic space that feels validating, safe, and helpful.

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.
