Find a Therapist in United States

Do you look like you have it all together on the outside, but underneath are struggling? Are you wrestling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or burnout? I specialize in working with people who identify as perfectionists & people pleasers, as well as those wanting to heal from past traumas. I work with those struggling with an inner critic & who often feel overly responsible for other's wellbeing. As a therapist with 15+ yrs of experience, I try my best to be relatable & down-to-earth, embracing real conversations while using evidence-based practices. Come see me in my cozy Sylvania office or from your own home.  

Hi there! I'm Dr. Laura Hutchison, or as I'm sometimes called Dr. HutcH. I've handpicked over 20 amazing therapists to work at my diverse practice to support a wide range of client needs. In order to ensure quality care, I clinically supervise the associates and we use a confidential team approach to strengthen individual knowledge. We pride ourselves in being a safe place to grow and hope you'll choose us for your psychological services.  

Have you been feeling stuck? Whether from anxiety, eating concerns, or depression, or feeling trapped in similar patterns in relationships, dating, family, or work I'm grateful you're here to create change. My aim in therapy is to help you find a more empowered life with a grounded understanding of yourself and confidence from the therapy tools you’ve gained. We will work together to help you gain useful insights and specific skills to manage your concerns in addition to changing patterns that are no longer serving you. I specialize in areas of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, relationships, fertility issues, and career changes. I believe in finding a strong therapeutic fit and encourage you to reach out for a consultation so you can get see if my therapy style is what you are looking for. I'm looking forward to speaking with you and I'm glad you're here!  

I have been a counselor for over 30 years helping many individuals, families, and couples deal with the pressures of life. I provide a warm, comfortable, caring space for clients to feel safe and able to process issues causing distress. My experience, understanding and compassion help my clients heal.  

I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying. Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better. We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.  

I offer psychotherapy services for individuals, couples and families in a safe and confidential setting. My psychotherapy training and experience is extensive, and each patient is treated with interest and compassion, considering the specific needs and goals of each patient.  

My path to becoming a mental health counselor is deeply personal. After experiencing trauma in 2010, counseling became a turning point in my life. It not only helped me heal but also gave me the confidence to return to school and pursue an entirely new career. Looking back, I feel tremendous gratitude for the growth I experienced and for the people who supported me along the way. That experience shaped the counselor I am today. Since becoming a mental health counselor in 2019, I have been passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and hope. I believe that healing is possible, even when life feels overwhelming, and that therapy can be a place where meaningful change begins. My early professional experience includes volunteering with hospice, supporting individuals living with brain injuries and dementia, working with people facing chronic and terminal illnesses during my internship, and providing care through EvergreenHealth's In Home Mental Health program. These experiences have strengthened my appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and deepened my commitment to helping people grow, adapt, grieve, heal, and find acceptance when life presents difficult realities. I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Whether you're working through trauma, coping with illness, navigating life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you in creating a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. Outside of my work as a therapist, I'm a self-proclaimed plant nerd. I hold a bachelor's degree in Herbal Medicine, and my love of plants reflects my appreciation for growth, resilience, and the healing that can happen over time—both in nature and in ourselves.

As an autistic psychologist in Colorado, I personally understand many of the personal challenges my neurodivergent (ASD/autism, ADHD, learning abilities) clients are facing. I excel by helping you get clarity about your current challenges through psychological testing and what next steps and recommendations may be helpful after testing is completed. Through therapy, I often help clients come to terms with a new diagnosis, unmask, understand differences between neurotypical and neurodivergent approaches, and come to accept your identity as a neurodivergent person.  

We believe that therapy should be a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. Our approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Our psychologists specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, health anxiety, chronic illness, chronic pain, sleep difficulties, OCD, and other challenges that can impact emotional well-being. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, we help clients develop practical coping skills, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters most to them. Whether you're navigating a health condition, a major life transition, or longstanding emotional struggles, our goal is to provide a supportive space where you can gain insight, foster growth, and create lasting change.  

I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.  

I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.  

Dr. Jacqlyn believes in the importance of providing a compassionate and safe environment where the client can explore and enhance internal dialogue, interpersonal patterns, intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy.  

Willow Branch was built as a place to feel welcome and safe while working to build the life you want. Our therapists work to meet clients where they are and are sensitive to external factors that impact the clients' struggles.  

I understand that your life is complex and there are various demands and expectations at different life stages that can be impacted by situational and mental health struggles. It's important to be mindful of the interaction between those demands and your stage of life. My experiences are diverse. I have worked for over twenty years with individuals, couples, and groups across the lifespan and socioeconomic spectrum by providing a range of clinical services including assessment, consultation, and psychotherapy. I know how challenging asking for help can be and I strive to work collaboratively with clients, both validating your feelings and experiences while helping you to uncover patterns and obstacles that are holding you back from reaching your goals. I seek to provide treatment in an integrative way, utilizing Solution-Focused, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using these modalities we will focus not just on difficulties, but on areas of strength and positive coping mechanisms. As part of my work, I am always happy to collaborate with medical doctors, attorneys, in-home therapeutic teams, and school systems to ensure that all providers working with you or your family are in sync with the goals you are striving to achieve.  

I specialize in assisting clients who are dealing with anxiety and OCD-related disorders. During our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore these challenges and work together to create a personalized plan. Many of my clients notice a significant reduction in their symptoms within the first month, which often leads to lasting improvements in their overall well-being. I earned a Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, in 2018. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008. Additionally, I completed a two-year postdoctoral training program at Harvard Medical/McLean Hospital’s OCDI residential program in Belmont, MA. I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive care and strive to create a comfortable space for individuals with diverse sociocultural identities.  

I like to work with the wisdom of the body to help us find what already lives inside, but has just been hidden or lost. I believe we already have within us everything we need. I have many tools in my toolbelt; we'll work together to find what approach works the best for you and your unique spirit. I have traversed many pathways of light and dark myself, so will meet you right where you are, and help find your way back to wholeness.  

The love of people called me into this profession. I've had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals, and hope to provide you with the best professional services available. I am committed to advancing my clinical education and knowledge in the expanding field of mental health.
