Our counselors offer counseling for teens in Mt Pleasant, SC

I am Jessica Hutchison, a licensed professional counselor associate (LPC-A) with almost two years of professional experience. I have worked mainly with children ages 4 to 18, providing family therapy and parenting sessions, though I am trained to work with all ages. My clients have faced ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, substance abuse, ODD, suicidal ideation, self-harm, stress-related disorders, and mood disorders — wanting to manage symptoms, learn to love themselves, become more successful, or simply "not be sad anymore." I want to help all of my clients become the best and happiest versions of themselves. 

The main techniques I have used with my clients are play therapy, CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, client-centered therapy, mindfulness training, psychoeducation, reflective listening, and goal setting. I believe in clear, honest, open communication between therapist and client to help build a healthy and trusting rapport. 

Sometimes the world can seem like too much. If you have ever felt struggling, unhappy, or not where you want to be, come talk to someone who has struggled and can teach you how to manage. I will help you discover underlying issues and learn to love yourself again. Please come see me, Jessica Hutchison, your fellow neurodivergent who understands the struggle. 

I am a licensed professional counselor. I earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Clemson University and a Master's of Education in Counseling and Development at Winthrop University.

My approach to therapy is client-centered and solution-focused. I strongly believe that every mistake, challenge, or failure is just a stepping stone toward success in life. Having compassion and empathy allows me to build a positive and meaningful connection with clients. It is my goal to instill self-compassion and self-awareness in each individual.

I have experience with adolescents and adults of all ages. I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, relationships, academic challenges, parenting, communication, self-image, and emotional abuse. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via phone or email and I look forward to meeting you if you choose to do so.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW (working towards my Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice, LISW-CP) passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, emotional distress, and more. I enjoy supporting clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain and are seeking a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal, build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, blending evidence-based techniques with genuine compassion. I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs while helping them build healthy coping skills, increase self-awareness, process difficult experiences, and develop the confidence to create meaningful, lasting change.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, I've experienced the feeling myself, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're seeking healing, growth, or a fresh perspective, I would be honored to walk alongside you. When you're ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Gonzaga University, a Master of Professional Studies in Public Relations & Corporate Communications from Georgetown University, and a Master of Arts in School Counseling from the University of Denver. This past year, I completed courses at Clemson University's Clinical Mental Health program for my LPC-A in South Carolina.

While I primarily work with children and teens, I enjoy supporting clients across all stages of life.

I will listen and support you in a warm and nurturing environment and will be a positive support on your journey. I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based approach to support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I can use Play Therapy to address emotional and behavioral challenges in younger clients.

I will create a therapeutic, supportive, and safe space where clients can be themselves, express their emotions, and work toward meaningful goals that support a fulfilling life. Feel free to schedule an appointment with me so that I can be a support for you on your journey!
