LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals and couples across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, supporting a wide range of experiences related to identity, relationships, and family building. This can include exploring questions of identity and self-understanding, navigating coming out, managing family dynamics, and building affirming, meaningful relationships.
I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursuing non-traditional paths to parenthood, including adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception. I understand both the unique stressors and the profound strengths that can come with these journeys.
My approach is affirming, nuanced, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I aim to create a space where clients feel fully seen and understood, while also helping them navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Maddy Engelfried
Pre-Licensed Professional
I was a member of the queer community long before I was a therapist, and I believe that identity is a journey rather than a destination. I've also worked with queer youth and elders in individual and group therapy settings, and I've worked with the peers and parents of LGBTQ youth to help them better understand allyship.

Navigating LGBTQ+ experiences can bring unique challenges related to identity, relationships, and societal pressures.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Michael Pollet
Pre-Licensed Professional, SW
As a gay man, I bring lived experience to my work with people in the LGBTQIA+ community. We will examine the roots of shame, guilt, and other challenging emotions that may be tied to societal expectations, family dynamics, or past relationships. By uncovering these underlying patterns and the impact they have on your sense of self, we can work toward reducing the weight of these emotions.
