Becky Hecht

Hi, I’m Becky.

Supporting others through the challenges of life is a passion of mine and I would be honored to be a partner in your pursuit of growth and wholeness.

Our life experiences shape us, and sometimes we respond to these challenges with behaviors or habits that do not aid us. When trauma, anxiety, depression or stress impact you or your child, we can work together toward healing.

About Becky

I have always been drawn to the helping field, but my path did not lead me into the professional counseling career until later in life. As a school counselor, I provided solution-focused, brief therapy to children and teens, but desired to have a more active part in their journey. Combined with the experiences I have had as both an individual and as a mother, I was inspired to pursue the career path that has led me here today.

I believe our past can influence the ways we function in the present. I place a large emphasis on processing emotional reactions to events, in order to understand how we view and respond to them. With children, I do this through play-based interventions, providing them with power and autonomy within the playroom. With older children or teens, I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach and incorporate games and art into our work.

With my youngest children, I utilize Child-Centered Play Therapy, allowing children to communicate and process emotions through play in a safe, supportive environment. With older children, I incorporate components from the Trauma Play Therapy Model, using developmentally appropriate directive interventions to help children process traumatic experiences, build emotional regulation skills, and develop a greater sense of safety and control.

With adults, I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), also known as “parts work,” along with integrative, trauma-informed interventions tailored to each client’s individual needs and treatment goals. I also incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients process and resolve distressing memories, emotions, and trauma-related experiences in a structured and supportive manner.

Beyond the Therapy Room

I was born and raised in South Florida, and I have continued to love the beach and being outdoors on a sunny day. Outside of my time with clients, I enjoy exploring downtown Greenville’s restaurants, markets, playgrounds, and bike trails with my husband, and three children. I believe it is through community and laughter that we are most free, so our family loves to be with others doing anything that is fun! My Christian faith is very important to me, and I have spent 20+ years involved in youth ministry leadership. This experience has helped shape a love for talking about spiritual matters with teens, and the skills to allow them to ask hard questions and process their spirituality at their own pace.
