why choose us

Resolve’s team uses a variety of top-of-the-line, evidence-based treatment methods, depending on how your drive for achievement impacts you. For those struggling with anxiety, depression, panic, & workaholism, we utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, which is the type of therapy your doctor or therapist friend will recommend if you ask. This is because CBT is the most scientifically-proven treatment available. If you struggle with disordered eating, we use  Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). We also utilize psychodynamic and humanistic approaches to offer you a deeper understanding of yourself, others, & your circumstances with a supportive, empathic, nonjudgmental listener.
Our team comprises of trained & dedicated clinicians passionate about recovery from workaholism and the pathological fear of failure. (Spoiler alert: deep fear of failure drives us high achievers). The Resolve team knows that public shaming is one of the most barbaric experiences one can experience, and that for all people in high-profile positions, it is an occupational hazard. When you work with a Resolve clinician, you can trust that your therapist is not only classically trained and credentialed, but deeply understands the systemic pressures you experience, and can help you navigate and succeed in a new, more balanced way.
Our team knows that the achievement drive begins at an early age, and we are here to help your children, adolescent, or college-aged child with the negative side of their achievement drive. Parents of high-achieving young people are often as proud as they are fearful of their child’s response to achievement pressure. We provide developmentally appropriate guidance and intervention for the dark side of their success, including anxiety, depression, panic, & disordered eating. We work with young people on achieving balance & self-approval at any age, without letting go of their goals & dreams. Schedule an appointment for your child today. You’ll be so glad you did.

In Their

Own Words

"I have been coping with anxiety for years, but felt like most therapists were either aloof or incompetent when I got in front of them. I've now spent about six months with Dr. Hecht and feel that I've made more progress in six months than I did in six years with other doctors. She's patient, kind, and insightful, but also holds you to account to make sure you're not short changing yourself.
I am so grateful I found Dr. Hecht and am so thankful she's helped me grow so substantively over our short time together.."
