Cierra Listermann, Ph.D.

As a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD treatment in North Carolina, I offer a high-quality therapy experience that is both deeply compassionate and distinctly structured to foster results. Here, you’ll be seen, heard, and supported as we uncover the patterns that no longer serve you and create meaningful change.

Your story is uniquely your own—your therapy should be too.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you’re in the right place. I provide personalized trauma and PTSD recovery treatment virtually across the state of North Carolina that honors your lived experience and meets you exactly where you are, as well as a space for healing, growth, and emotional wellness whether you’re:

-Carrying the weight of past trauma or PTSD that still impacts your day-to-day life
-Feeling drained by burnout or chronic stress, like you’re running on empty
-Struggling with anxiety or depression that makes even small tasks feel heavy
-Navigating a major life transition such as a breakup or divorce, career change, relocation, or identity shift where you are feeling unsteady and need support
-Grieving a loss or coping with traumatic grief that feels impossible to put into words
-Wanting a supportive space to explore women’s issues, including boundaries, identity, self-worth, or empowerment
- Looking for LGBTQIA+ affirming care where all parts of who you are are fully respected and welcomed

Your healing deserves a space that feels safe, steady, and thoughtfully tailored to you. I will walk alongside you as a trusted guide, helping you make sense of what’s happened, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.

My 90-minute extended therapy sessions and specialized Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) intensives for trauma and PTSD are thoughtfully designed and uncommon in most practices, giving the necessary space for trauma work that truly moves you forward. This intentionally curated approach allows for the time and depth required to process experiences fully without feeling rushed or fragmented, address what’s holding you back and keeping you stuck, and build resilience for sustained growth in a way that fits your life and your goals.

Our work goes beyond simply talking through what’s happened. It is structured, focused, and designed to create real change. Together, we focus on understanding how your experiences continue to shape your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and intentionally work to shift them, creating space for both insight and meaningful resolution and allowing you to move forward with greater clarity, stability, and a stronger sense of control.

Please feel free to contact me via phone, email, simply complete a the inquiry submission form on my website, or schedule your free 15-minute consultation call through my online scheduler to get started.

I look forward to partnering with you on this transformative and healing journey you are more than worthy of!
