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 (LPC) with 6 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults navigating trauma, grief, generalized anxiety, depression, and addiction recovery. I take a person-centered, strength-based approach to therapy that is guided by each client’s readiness for change, personal values, and individual goals.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Clemson University. I am trained in motivational interviewing, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also work from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective and incorporate experiential techniques to support emotional awareness and processing.

I believe healing is a courageous journey, and you do not have to walk it alone. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, build self-acceptance, and work toward meaningful personal growth. I would be honored to support you as you take the next step in your healing process.
