Hi, I'm Petagaye Hutchinson, LCSW. I work with teens and young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or major life changes. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgement-free space where you can talk openly, better understand what you're feeling, and develop tools to help you feel more confident and in control.
My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and work through challenges. I'll meet you where you are while also encouraging you to recognize your strengths and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right to you.
Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you're not sure what to expect. In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what has been going on in your life, and what you hope will change. You don't have to have everything figured out. We'll take our time getting to know each other and work together to identify goals that feels meaningful to you.
