Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Kids and teens have a lot going on, and sometimes they need more than a pep talk. At The CBT Center, we work with younger patients on anxiety, depression, school stress, social struggles, and more, using evidence-based approaches adapted for how they actually think and communicate. We also work closely with parents, because the best outcomes happen when everyone is on the same page. We make therapy feel approachable, even for the kid who swore they'd never talk to a therapist.

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.
