Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
At this point in my career I only want to work with children and adolescents who are motivated to change and want help. But over the last 30 years I have worked with over 1,000 pre-teens and teens. I started two therapeutic schools, have worked with teens in therapeutic outdoor adventure programs, community mental health, residential treatment facilities, psychiatric hospitals, a juvenile corrections facility, etc.

Will Bell
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, LPC
Parenting is far from easy. There's a million approaches and it can feel like none of them work. Sometimes we need another level of support. I've talked with a lot of students and heard how frustrating it can be to come to therapy. Or how scary it can be. There can be a lot of questions ("Am I ok?", "Will I always be depressed?", "Why am I angry?"). Or there can be a lot of denial ("I'm fine", "My parent is really the problem", "Counseling's a waste of time"). I'll work with your teen to help them feel comfortable, talking with them in an office or on a walk together, giving them a person they know they can trust with what's bothering them.

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.
