Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Adolescence is one of the most intense and underestimated periods of life. Teens are navigating identity, relationships, academic pressure, social dynamics, and big emotions, often without the words or tools to make sense of any of it. We specialize in working with teenagers in a way that actually meets them where they are: no lectures, no talking down, just a real space to figure things out. We also support parents in understanding what their teen is going through and how to stay connected during the harder seasons.

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.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 5 years of experience working as a high school therapist in NYC supporting adolescents and their families, often in the context of complex trauma, abuse histories, and significant relational conflict at home and school. This work has given me a deep understanding of how overwhelming and misunderstood the adolescent experience can be, especially for young people who are struggling to manage intense emotions, behavioral challenges, or difficult environments.
I’ve worked closely with youth who were often labeled as “oppositional” or “defiant,” but I approach these behaviors through a more compassionate lens—seeing them as signals that a young person is struggling and needs support, safety, and an advocate. Developmentally, I understand how adolescent brain structures contribute to impulsivity, risk-taking, and difficulty with emotional regulation, and I use that framework to help both teens and caregivers make sense of behaviors that can otherwise feel confusing or frustrating.
A central part of my work involves bridging the gap between adolescents and their parents or caregivers. I focus on helping families improve communication, reduce misunderstanding, and rebuild trust in the relationship. By supporting both the young person and their family system, I aim to create more connection, stability, and mutual understanding at home, so that adolescents feel both supported and better able to navigate their emotions and challenges.
