I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 4 years of experience providing therapy to adults, adolescents, and families. I support clients navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, anger management, domestic violence, and family challenges. My work focuses on helping individuals build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and achieve meaningful personal growth.

I hold a master’s degree in social work from the University of South Carolina. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally responsive, incorporating trauma-informed care, psychoeducation, and practical skill-building to support emotional regulation, healthy communication, and long-term progress.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Together, we work toward healing, growth, and practical tools to manage life’s challenges. I invite you to take the next step and schedule a session when you are ready.

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.
