Be Authentic Family Therapy Services, Inc. Michele Putini, Director
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
When something happens in a family, sometimes children and teens don't know how to manage it. They may not know how to express what they feel and may act out, behave in ways that are not typical or withdraw or isolate themselves. Children's first language is play so we utilize play therapy, art therapy techniques and sand tray therapy to help them to express themselves in a safe enviornment. We believe through the connection of the safe therapeutic relationship, children, teens and families can heal from the challenges and move towards wellness, growth and discovery of their most authentic self. If your child is experiencing a challenge then your whole family is having a challenge and we can help you process those feelings, discover new coping skills to manage symptoms and move towards the healing we all desire. We are here to help guide you. We all desire to be seen and heard and treated with respect. We honor all of our clients whether they are 4 or 94 years old. We can help you discover what you need. Make an appointment so we can begin the healing.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I have a particular interest in working with children and adolescents as they navigate the often complex and evolving process of identity development. Adolescence is a time of profound change—emotionally, socially, and psychologically—and many young people struggle to make sense of who they are and where they belong.
I bring a specialized focus to working with adoptees and donor-conceived children and teens, who may face unique questions around identity, origin, and connection. These experiences can shape how young people understand themselves and their relationships in ways that are not always visible from the outside.
My approach is thoughtful, developmentally informed, and grounded in creating a space where young people feel safe to explore these questions openly. I also work closely with parents to help them better understand and support their child’s experience, strengthening communication and connection within the family as a whole.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with children and adolescents who are navigating emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. Many young people come to therapy struggling with anxiety, big feelings, school stress, friendship difficulties, or challenges related to attention, learning, or self-esteem. My approach focuses on helping children better understand their emotions, build regulation skills, and develop confidence in themselves and their relationships.
I use a relational, developmentally informed approach that integrates play, conversation, and nervous system awareness to meet children where they are. I also work closely with parents to support the family system as a whole, helping caregivers better understand their child’s emotional and developmental needs while building practical tools that strengthen connection and communication at home.
