Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Florida, Alabama, and Illinois. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive.
A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence.
In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention.
I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family.
Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.

Iva Taylor, CHt: Hypnotherapist Specializing in Subconscious System Alignment
Ending Inner Conflict and Creating Effortless Clarity
Are you exhausted by constant inner conflict? Do you feel like your brilliant, strategic mind and your wise intuition are locked in an endless argument, leading to anxiety, indecision, and burnout?
My practice is built on the philosophy that lasting transformation is systematic, not random. My work focuses on fixing the root cause of this conflict: subconscious incoherence.
My Core Programs: A System Upgrade for Mind, Heart, and Youth
I specialize in three proprietary, structured therapeutic programs designed to resolve specific areas of inner conflict and behavioral patterns:
The Integrated Inner Child Program (IICP): Resolves emotional stagnation and self-sabotage by addressing the source of limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns. We heal the past so it can no longer compromise your present.
The Teenager’s Project Program (TPP): An 8-module therapeutic program specifically engineered for adolescents navigating modern emotional crises, anxiety, and self-harming tendencies. By combining subconscious alignment with compassionate therapy and coaching, this blueprint helps teenagers resolve internal chaos, safely process overwhelming emotions, and rebuild a resilient sense of self-worth from the inside out.
The Heart-Mind Integrated Coherence Program (HMICP): This six-session blueprint is for clients ready to move from healing into mastery. It teaches you to harness the heart's energy to train your mind and nervous system to work in perfect synchronicity. The result is Effortless Decision-Making, Unstoppable Focus, and profound Self-Worth.
My Approach: Coherence, Not Compromise
I do not offer generalized relaxation. I provide a precise, therapeutic system for mastering emotions and the mind. My clients are successful professionals, creators, and parents who are ready to stop managing their anxiety and start eliminating it at the root.
As the expert on your life, you already hold the wisdom to succeed. My role is to provide the blueprint and the tools to install a new, coherent operating system.
I am a certified Hypnotherapist (AHA Member) and Certified Life Coach committed to ongoing professional development. If you are ready to stop arguing with yourself and start living with confident, purposeful action, I invite you to contact me for a consultation.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work as an integrative art psychotherapist and IFS practitioner, offering a thoughtful and collaborative way of working. Therapy with me doesn’t need to involve art unless it feels useful; some sessions focus on conversation, while others may use images, objects, or simple creative materials to explore experiences that are difficult to put into words.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent many years working in design and technology. That background continues to shape how I work – I’m interested in patterns, systems, and how different parts interact, both internally and in our wider lives. My decision to retrain grew out of lived experience as well as professional curiosity, and I bring both into the therapy room.
I work in an engaged, grounded way, staying close to what matters and adjusting pace as needed. Clients often come to me when they want to understand themselves more clearly, work with complexity rather than bypass it, and make changes that feel considered and sustainable.
8 Years Experience
Online in Montgomery, AL Alabama
Montgomery is Alabama's state capital and a city with profound civil rights significance — the birthplace of the bus boycott, home to the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, and site of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice — and this history creates a distinctive clinical context in which racial identity, community trauma, and intergenerational resilience are active themes. The city has a majority Black population and a state government workforce, generating therapy demand that spans from the particular stresses of public service careers to the cultural and emotional dimensions of living in a place where the history of racism is physically present. Baptist Health and Jackson Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Alabama State University and Faulkner University contribute to the local training ecosystem, and the city's strong faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is an important part of the local offering.
