Autumn Hutto

With education and training in clinical mental health counseling, social studies education, and human geography, I view our world through a systemic lens and aim to contextualize all clients within their environments.

In my former career as a teacher, I worked in the co-taught classroom and developed the skills to support those with neurodevelopmental difference. Since then, I have continued educating myself on ways to best support adults with ADHD and Autism.

During graduate school, I sought an internship at a non-profit that provided counseling services for survivors of sexual abuse and interpersonal violence. It was here that I first began the developing skills necessary to assist in the recovery and empowerment of survivors.

My goal is to create a space that is safe, healing, and at times humorous, as we navigate the mundane and the extraordinary. With me you'll find, I do not champion "right" answers, but rather I encourage balance, connectedness, and joy.

I utilize evidence based approaches such as attachment based and person-centered modalities to provide space to process experiences of trauma, develop a sense of identity, and explore life transitions.

The lens of feminism and existentialism, are maintained throughout my work. At times, I will recommend books, movies, and music as a way of education and universalization of experiences.

Typically, I view myself as a guide rather than a director of the therapy process. I will build a collaborative relationship with you that fosters healthy and secure attachments.

Initial sessions with me are all about finding the lay of the land. I want to know what brought you to therapy, what your goals are, and what challenges you are facing, but I also want to learn about you as a whole person. Together we will build a map and work together to find new ways of being that prioritize your authenticity and joy.
