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.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults primarily working to overcome their significant anxiety, fears that are holding them back, OCD, and panic symptoms. I have specialized training in exposure and response prevention (ERP) that tends to be the gold standard in treating OCD. I can offer support for the family and the child/ teen struggling through their anxiety. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! My online clients are focused primarily on late preteens and older due to the difficulties in engagement with elementary aged youth (in person sessions offered in the Charleston, SC area). Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!

Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and Hamburg Pavilion. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
