Aubrey Hutchings

I have been in the counseling field since 2003. I graduated from The University of Central Florida with my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In 2007 I developed a 13-week marriage preparation program at Summit Church, which I led hundreds of couples through over four years.

I enjoy working with couples, helping them develop strong, healthy relationships as they embark on their journey towards marriage and for all the years that follow. I believe people are made to do life together, which can bring both great joy and pain. I understand that a great marriage takes work, commitment, and desire. Whether you are preparing for marriage, wanting to enrich your marriage, or need help in the midst of a painful time in your relationship, I will come alongside you and offer you the support and guidance you desire.

I also love working with moms who need a place to process the struggles of motherhood, a place to be heard and to feel safe to share all their thoughts and longings. Motherhood can feel very lonely and like a rollercoaster. You love your children, but sometimes they drive you crazy and really press your buttons (also known as triggers in the therapy world). These times can be short-lived or long and exhausting. Motherhood brings up so many feelings and thoughts. Having a caring professional you can process your emotions with is life-giving to you, and in the long run, to your family. I understand how motherhood can lead to feeling like “you’ve lost yourself” and are unsure of who you are, or what you want. I understand the desire to be the mom you always dreamed of being and can help navigate common pitfalls that lead to feelings of failure, making that goal achievable again.

I believe it is important to get to the source of why someone is acting or thinking the way that they are. I can teach you a bunch of skills and techniques, but if we do not get to the source and heal from there the techniques will only work for so long. Understanding our past wounds and how we got to where we are now is vital in our healing process. My clients who are willing to face past hurts find their present start to feel less overwhelming and confusing.

In our first session I just want to get to know you and your story, what you are struggling with or what brought you into therapy. This is a time for you to unload and let me know what you are seeking and needing. From here we will make a plan!
