My name is Michael Hutchinson - though I go by Hutch - and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have been working in the field of mental health since 2012, and actively practicing with individuals, couples, and groups since 2018. At the core of my practice is a constructivist approach, treating individuals as experts on themselves as we work to apply the theories of change I endorse to create meaningful/ values-congruent improvements wherever indicated. In my individual work I aim to scaffold skills, concepts, and techniques to ensure that distress is resolved and change is promoted across any number of domains of life. I strive to promote self-determination, and to develop the perspective that all emotions are carriers of information that deserve proactive plans or reassurance through context.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that each person has the capacity for growth and healing, and I try to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered while being themselves. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and concerns related to self-esteem and personal growth. My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative environment where clients can build self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and work toward their goals at a pace that feels right for them. Together, we focus on developing practical coping skills fostering personal growth, and helping clients create positive changes that align with their goals.

Hi! I'm Shenita, a licensed mental health counselor for the last 11 years.

My clients would describe me as relatable, respectful, and dedicated to their personal growth. I approach therapy from a team perspective. My goal is to help my clients navigate this thing called life through self-empowerment, distress tolerance/healthy coping mechanisms, and the ability to pivot when necessary. Let me help you become the author of your own life's story!!

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist residing in Central Florida. I am licensed in the states of Florida and Nevada. I have been working in the field since 2009. I graduated from UNLV in Las Vegas, NV with a Bachelor's in Psychology and then from Chapman University in Orange, CA with a Master's in Psychology, having a Marriage & Family Therapy emphasis. I have specific experience working with individuals dealing with the effects of PTSD. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP). I treat individual clients as well as couples. I'm not afraid to stand beside those who are dealing with the effects of trauma, and I'm open to helping people work through those feelings. I take a nervous system deactivation approach to trauma work that is intuitive and effective along with addressing the cognitive side of trauma and using mindfulness techniques. I am willing and able to help anyone regardless of ethnicity or gender identity. That said, I do have a special interest in the needs and struggles of black people (particularly black women) in our country. I believe that my role is to be completely present during the therapeutic process, serving as a guide and facilitator for my clients. I strive to create the safest space possible for people to express and process their feelings while learning how to better cope with stress and anxiety. I want to instill hope and remind my clients that, no matter how hard life gets, they aren't alone and there will always be something to work toward and a brighter future to seek.

Hi, I’m Kim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and difficult life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and have a particular interest in helping clients process painful experiences and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, respected, and free from judgment. Together, we can explore how past experiences, loss, relationships, thoughts, and emotions may be affecting your present life while building healthier ways of coping and responding. I integrate EMDR with evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. My work emphasizes emotional regulation, self-awareness, healthy boundaries, communication, self-compassion, and practical coping skills. Trauma and grief can affect how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate everyday life. Loss can also bring complicated emotions, including sadness, guilt, anger, confusion, or a sense of feeling disconnected from yourself or others. I provide space to work through these experiences without pressure to “move on” before you are ready. I approach this work with careful attention to emotional safety, preparation, stabilization, and readiness. Therapy does not need to be rushed. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you understand what you are carrying, and support you in building greater confidence, resilience, and trust in yourself as you move forward.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and client-centered therapy. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. While I maintain a professional and evidence-based approach, my style is warm, approachable, and conversational. My goal is to create an environment where therapy feels like a genuine, collaborative conversation rather than a clinical experience, allowing clients to feel at ease as they work toward healing and personal growth.

Hi there! Welcome to my practice. What would your life look like if anxiety, stress, or self-doubt no longer held you back? Do you find yourself overthinking, worrying about everything, or feeling emotionally drained? Life can feel challenging at times, and therapy can be a meaningful place to begin navigating those challenges with support. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. You don't have to have everything figured out to deserve support, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, therapy can be a place where you can finally focus on you. I believe healing and growth happen one step at a time. Together, we can work toward celebrating the small wins, because those moments often lead to the biggest growth.

I would like to create a welcoming, affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

My therapy style is eclectic as I draw from evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions.
