heARTtherapy with Amy
Art Therapist, LAPC, ATR
Is it difficult for your child to talk about challenging situations? Do you have the teen who doesn't want to talk about it? Children and teens gravitate towards art materials and the art can do the talking alone or be a bridge to the talking. Art therapy can happen in the metaphor and through line, shape, colors and characters. It doesn't have to directly name the hard stuff to be affective or evoke change. I have facilitated children processing grief, trauma and relationship challenges through characters as well as the abstract using a variety of materials from markers and crayons to paint and clay. Play is therapeutic for all of us and with my guidance, art therapy can be very healing.

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.

I specialize in evaluating and providing therapy for children and teens with diverse mental health and developmental needs, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other learning disabilities, selective mutism, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, intellectual disabilities, and grief. My extensive experience spans both clinical and educational settings, enabling me to navigate special education systems and help families access critical school-based services. In addition, I provide tailored guidance for children facing challenges related to adoption and chronic illnesses. By partnering closely with parents, caregivers, and educators, I create collaborative strategies to promote emotional well-being and academic success.
