Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Summer Hecht
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DSW, LCSW-C
Hi there! I'm so glad you're here.
I am a doctoral-level social worker who has been practicing for over twelve years. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, and I'm a great fit for anyone who has ever left a therapy session disappointed because they were hoping for something that felt more authentic or for a space that allowed you to feel safe to be your entire self.
I provide couples, individual, and family therapy, as well as parent coaching. With couples, I am trained in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman Therapy. I believe that focusing on connection, relationship strengths that already exist, and respect make couples therapy the most successful. For families, similarly, building mutual respect and communication can improve overall functioning and restore peace. For parents, I focus on creating secure attachment, consistently enforcing realistic boundaries, and mutual respect. I support individuals in identifying personal values and recognizing unhelpful patterns so that a plan for moving forward meaningfully can be made.
I'm a perfect fit for you if you're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, lonely, or unfulfilled. I support moms who have experienced birth trauma, NICU stays, infertility, postpartum depression and anxiety, or who are simply not adjusting to motherhood like they thought they would. I support parents who have multiples, who know they want to break generational patterns but aren't sure how, and who want to gentle parent effectively (not permissively). I work with individuals with ADHD (formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed), especially women with ADHD who may not have been diagnosed until adulthood due to compensating with overfunctioning and perfectionism. I work with individuals recovering from emotionally immature parents and with couples who are struggling to connect despite loving each other.
If any of this resonates you, I am accepting new clients and look forward to chatting with you to see if we might be a good fit! I know how overwhelming it can be to find a therapist who will be supportive, gently challenge you, and show up authentically and empathetically. I am that therapist and I can't wait to get started on helping you achieve your goals.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.
