Child/Teen
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.

Child/Teen
Dr. Cathy E. Pickett
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, LCA, CCTP, NCC
I work with children and adolescents in a supportive, age-appropriate, and compassionate environment where they can feel safe, heard, and understood. My approach recognizes that children and teens may communicate their emotions through behavior, withdrawal, anger, anxiety, academic difficulties, or changes in relationships rather than through words alone. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and solution-focused techniques to help young clients identify and express their feelings, develop healthy coping skills, improve self-esteem and confidence, manage anxiety and stress, strengthen relationships, and navigate life transitions. When appropriate, I collaborate with parents and caregivers to help them better understand their child's needs and develop practical strategies that support emotional and behavioral growth at home. My goal is to help children and adolescents build the tools, confidence, and resilience they need to manage challenges and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.

Child/Teen
Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have had the privilege to work with children and adolescents for many years in the school, outpatient, residential and inpatient setting. I enjoy helping children to identify and build on their strengths and learn skills at a young age so they can feel more confident about who they are and grow to be the best version of themself. Integral to working with children or adolescents is involving parents so they can learn how to work together to create a harmonious home environment and guide their children or adolescent through difficult situations. I also may collaborate with schools so that interventions can be implemented that focus on their strengths.

Dr. Karina Luaces

The teenage and young adult years can be some of the most emotionally complex. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where young people can feel truly heard — whether they're navigating self-esteem struggles, peer relationships, school stress, or intense emotions.
