Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! I'm Dr. Christine Sparacino. I have been working in the mental health field for more than 20 years. I work with highly sensitive and empathic individuals, people navigating loss and life transitions, those feeling with grief and chronic illness and autoimmune disease. Since 2015 I have also worked as a diabetes psychologist, supporting patients with their health.
My main focus is to help individuals navigate difficult seasons and transitions in their lives, such as adjusting to a recent loss or change in health status. My main areas of expertise are: grief and loss, chronic illness and autoimmune disease, and working with Highly Sensitive People and empaths.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Dr. Jeffrey Spodak
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in working with people who are depressed or dealing with addiction, (alcohol abuse and compulsive sexual behaviors in particular). Sometimes even just beginning to speak out loud about your struggles can start the process of change. In our work together, we won't just manage your symptoms; we will look deeper. By exploring how these challenges first took root, you can gain the clarity needed to make empowered decisions today. This combination of insight and action can create powerful and lasting change.

Psychodynamic Therapy
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.
