Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
The most important thing in counseling is the person your connecting with; finding someone who understands what your feeling is the most important thing in Therapy. I believe if the problem is not understood accurately, it’s difficult to get to the solutions... let us help you... we will start from where you are. I see clients via teletherapy only.

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.

Jessica Rizk, Healing Hearts VA LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
At Healing Hearts VA, our work is centered around helping individuals better understand themselves within the context of their relationships. We specialize in supporting clients who struggle with overthinking, people pleasing, and anxiety in relationships, especially those who find themselves stuck in patterns they do not fully understand but deeply want to change.
We believe that many of these struggles are not random, but are rooted in meaningful experiences, attachment patterns, and learned ways of coping that once served a purpose. Our approach is grounded in helping clients slow down, gain insight into these patterns, and begin responding to themselves and others in more intentional, self respecting ways.
Our goal is not to change who our clients are, but to help them feel more secure, confident, and grounded in themselves. We support clients in learning how to set boundaries without guilt, communicate their needs more clearly, and experience relationships without constant anxiety or self doubt.
We strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and non judgmental, where clients do not have to filter themselves or worry about being misunderstood. For those who are interested, we also offer the option to integrate faith into the therapeutic process in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
At the core of our work is the belief that lasting change happens through both insight and practical steps. We are committed to helping our clients not only understand their patterns, but also build the tools needed to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
