Mary Gale Gurnsey
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I became passionate about this work because I've witnessed how deeply relationship trauma affects people's ability to trust themselves and others. Many of my clients come in feeling lost, unsure of what healthy actually looks like, and carrying the weight of past relationships where they lost their sense of self.
What I love most is helping people recognize that they're not broken — they're responding logically to what they've experienced. By understanding your attachment patterns and past dynamics, we can build a different future. My goal is to help you feel secure in yourself while building relationships where you're truly valued as an equal partner.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, non-judgmental, and respectful of your pace.

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.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my therapy practice stand out is my commitment to truly meeting each client where they are, with authenticity, compassion, and respect for their unique experiences. I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach that focuses not on “fixing” clients, but on understanding and empowering them. I prioritize building a genuine, trusting relationship, creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves without judgment. By blending evidence-based strategies with flexibility and warmth, I help clients develop practical tools while also fostering self-acceptance, confidence, and meaningful personal growth.
