TREATING INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, & CHILDREN

At Resolve Psychological Services, we center our care in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is the type of therapy your doctor or therapist friend will recommend if you ask them for a recommendation. This is because CBT is a first-line treatment for most conditions because it is so evidence-based. There is a ton of data in the research-world saying that CBT works, and many of its offshoots work best for specific concerns. Our practice is owned by a psychologist in Arlington, VA; Dr. Heather Leahy Hecht, and she has made it the mission of our team to specialize in CBT and its offshoots, and apply them correctly and effectively to your care.

We offer CBT via an online therapy format or in-person care at our clinic in the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia, accessible to Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia residents.
