Author Biography

Kathryn F. Hecht, PhD, is a mom, licensed child psychologist, speaker, parent coach, pizza lover, and bravery cheerleader. A partner at Anxiety Treatment Resources in MN, Dr. Kathryn started out by doing research on how scary and stressful stuff impacts how kids develop. She published a few papers, but what she actually learned from all that work was that kids can handle really hard things, and that all kids can be brave if they get the chance. She decided to spend her career helping kids be brave, and helping other grown-ups help kids too. The author of DareDecks, she presents both locally and nationally on pediatric anxiety/OCD and exposure-based CBT. Dr. Kathryn can pretend to be a grown-up for about 20 minutes before she reverts to a goofy 9-year-old. She might be eating pizza right now.
