About me

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.

Michael is an important person in my life

As someone who was new to therapy, I was pretty anxious about starting. But from day one, Hutch made me feel at ease and created a safe space for me to open up. He’s been incredibly supportive and instrumental in helping me work through the grief of losing my mom. I couldn’t be more grateful for the progress we’ve made together, and I genuinely feel more hopeful with his guidance. I look forward to continuing this journey with him. Highly recommend Hutch to anyone needing a compassionate, skilled therapist!

He doesn't miss. Insightful, intuitive, genuine, I can't praise him enough.

I came to hutch in a time when my emotions were in dismay, I had episodes I had never experienced before but hutch didn’t go “alright this is a lot to take in, I’m not sure where to start” he had a game plan, we’ve started on it and it took my emotions from day ruining to extremely manageable. My goals haven’t been hit yet but he took a period of turmoil and made it look as though bright days are ahead.
Thanks man!

Mr. Hutchinson is truly a great therapist! He has helped me in so many ways. While I am here mainly because of my marriage, he has guided, nurtured, have positive recommendations, and help me to be a better person individually, which is truly what I was seeking in the long run. I truly appreciate his words of wisdom and his true knowledge in his field! I would recommend him 100%!!
