Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

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.
