My name is Dr. Kathryn Hecht. I am a child and adolescent clinical psychologist based in MN that specializes in the treatment of anxiety, OCD and related issues. I work with anxious kids and their families each day, teaching tools and skills that make it easier to face fears and do what matters.
I started this site as a way to get the word out that we have GREAT ways to help kids that struggle with all kinds of worry, and to make it easy to get started on the path to Braver Kids.
This website is not about eliminating anxiety, “fixing” fear, or finding ways to get rid of all the troubles our children have to deal with. It is about helping kids build confidence in the face of uncertainty, and finding ways both big and small to send the message to kids that no matter what life throws at them, we are 100% certain that they can handle it.
After all, facing adversity is how resilience develops.
