Hello, my name is Bonita Hutchison. I am a Nationally Certified Trauma Therapist and hold dual licensure in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling in North Carolina / International Certification in Alcohol and Addiction Counseling / New Jersey Professional Mental Health Counselor Licensure and my License in California for Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counseling . Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio is where I earned my Masters Degree in Agency and Community Counseling in 1998. Over the years, I have learned that many people who come in for depression or anger sometimes have drinking, eating or substance use issues they are also struggling with or have used to cover up their pain. Each year to better serve you and provide the help needed to live and feel better I have continued to master additional skills to support your needs and recovery. These methods and approaches to counseling include Mindfulness, Couples Counseling, Psychodynamic therapy, Motivational Interviewing and how to improve Sleep Habits. My career as a Professional Counselor started with caring for children and teaching them to make better choices. I learned how I could help Parents and their children address challenges and barriers to success in facilitation of groups, individual and family therapy. After attending the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and earning Post Graduate Certification as a Drug Counselor in 2010, then my North Carolina License Professional Counselor (LCMHC #7953) credential and in 2020 due to the pandemic New Jersey Temporary Licensure (LPC # 010006) to provide mental health Counseling and Alcohol and Addiction treatment ( LADC # 014783) I applied recently to the California Board for Behavioral Health Licensure and Continue to hold International and National credentials to support you where ever you find yourself. In September of 2022, after over two years of temp licensure in New Jersey the Board of Marriage and Family Therapy issued my Permanent NJ license as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. I’m a good listener and educator that provides a warm and person centered approach to counseling that allows others to feel safe and supported in therapy. I work with consumers from all over the world and hold the IC&RC International Certification (ICAADC) to provide therapy and coping skills to better manage life situations as a Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. My work through mental health Counseling and as a Clinical Supervisor (LCMHC-S #S7953) in North Carolina is very rewarding and teaches me how to reduce your anxiety, manage depression symptoms, cope with ADHD, move past Guilt and Shame, process Grief and Relationship/Family issues. My Substance Abuse licensure in North Carolina (LCAS #2313) and California (LAADC #RA8620417) as well as Mental Health Professional Counselor in New Jersey (#37PC00850200) has allowed me to help people struggling with abuse, problems and explore the questions you have about relationships, eating disorders or emotions. Alcoholism, Mental Health and Drug Addiction do not discriminate and working in this field has allowed me to support and assist many people and families from a variety of cultural and spiritual backgrounds, races and relationship situations that were keeping them from reducing mental health symptoms, maintaining recovery or sobriety. I might be able help and I look forward to working with you!

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in New Jersey. I have been working in the counseling field for over ten years. I have worked in many different types of settings over the years including inpatient, outpatient and private practice. I have worked with both adults and adolescents. I have worked with many types of issues including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, developing life skills, conflicts resolution, including conflict resolution with parents and trauma resolution issues. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe rapport and trust are at the heart of a good counseling relationship, as everyone should be treated with respect and that the counseling environment should foster growth individually, in addition to helping to resolve what brought you into counseling initially. It takes courage and strength to contact someone for counseling to help you make changes in your life, no matter how big or small those changes may seem to you or to those in your life. I hope to see you soon!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey with decades of experience , I understand that taking the first step to reach out for help and outside support oftentimes can be hard. In fact, doing so is a sign of strength. Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed at home or work; do you have strained relationships with others , unresolved issues from your past, or not feeling good about yourself? Whatever challenges you are currently facing or obstacles getting in the way of your inner peace and happiness, it is important for you to find a safe place where you feel respected, valued and affirmed. I utilize a strength based, reality and client centered approach in working with individuals, couples and families. Here, you will be listened to with empathy and compassion. The bottom line is you are not alone. We will work together to navigate your journey toward a better, brighter and more fulfilling tomorrow. One of my clients said it best (used with her permission) "Each week it feels like you ask to hold something heavy that I've been carrying for years. You have me explain how I got it, why I've kept it and why I no longer need or want to carry it anymore. By doing that, you keep it for me and I don't have to pick that weight back up. You've made me feel so much lighter, thank you". Therapy will be a journey we will navigate together and it will be my honor to do so.
