Kaleigh Hecht is a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, dual-certified in Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health care. Passionate about healthcare, she provides compassionate, patient-centred mental health care in a supportive environment. Her journey began early, volunteering at a hospital as a teenager. As a Registered Nurse, she worked in neurology and psychiatry, solidifying her interest in mental health. While earning her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at the University of Central Florida, she researched depression screening in underserved Latinx populations, highlighting gaps in care. This inspired her to obtain additional certification in psychiatric-mental health nursing from the University of Miami, reinforcing her mission to improve access to mental health services. Raised in Florida, Kaleigh grew up enjoying outdoor activities like boating, fishing, and camping, shaping her holistic approach to wellness. Coming from a family of healthcare professionals, she was encouraged to explore the field early, fueling her passion for making a difference. She fosters a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences. Viewing therapy as a collaborative process, she tailors her approach to each individual’s needs, helping them make lasting changes. Outside of work, Kaleigh enjoys travelling, reading, exercising, cooking, and spending time with loved ones. She stays current in psychiatric care through ongoing research and professional development.
