I have been a practicing social worker for more than 30 years . Much of this experience has been working in a large public teaching hospital in Miami, Florida. The scope of service that the hospital provides is quite comprehensive which afforded me opportunities to work with a very diverse population . i have counseled patients and their families dealing with a variety of illnesses, both physical and mental health, survivors of sexual assault, and also providing counseling to patients in a correctional setting. I like challenging situations. My style of counseling is very eclectic, depends on the client and their unique set of problems. This can range from client centered, solution oriented or cognitive behavioral as many people are coming to therapy to learn new ways of thinking and alternative coping strategies. given some of the events of the past year, many people are experiencing additional stressors, particularly the LGBTQ community and am very interested in providing services to this population. I am looking forward to learning along with you.

From the first breath of life to the last, relationship with others is a living passion. When relating becomes dysfunctional, life is turned inside out and upside down. Through practiced clinical skills, client sensitivity, and compassion born through faith, the therapeutic approach I bring to clients can foster a life-balance of living, loving, and relating once again, or for the first time ever. It can be a difficult task. I am here to help make it easier. In addition to a normal practice of building healthy relationships and families, I also specialize in working with children and adolescents experiencing trauma and crisis. I also provide Prolonged Exposure Therapy for adults suffering with PTSD resulting from domestic violence, sexual abuse, combat, or first responder situations. Efficacy of treatment is validated and enhanced in my practice through purposeful utilization of quality assessment tools. These tools help take the guess work out of diagnosis and treatment, and help facilitate a brief therapy approach, reducing therapeutic involvement and investment from months of work to a matter of weeks. On a personal note, I have been married for 46 years and have two wonderful adult children and two fabulous grandsons! I hold a Master of Church Music degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Master of Psychology Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have a pet cat named Soxy, who loves me as much as I love her!

My name is Michael Hutchinson, I go by Hutch, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. My therapeutic orientation may be considered Constructivist, and is designed to meet the individual where they are at, while applying evidence-based techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address disturbances of the mind, emotions, and behavior. I have been working and studying in the field of mental health since 2012, and have been actively licensed in the state of Florida since 2018. Over that time I have accrued experience in inpatient, outpatient, and community-based settings; always maintaining a focus on trauma, severe/ persistent mental illness, relationships, and many other facets of the human experience. In my practice, I always strive to promote self-determination, and have always considered clients to be the experts on themselves. Rather than provide advice, we discuss and develop insight rooted in your value system – your choices are not my choices. In addition to this, I have always valued continued education, and constantly seek new evidenced-based interventions and theories of change.
