Barbara Hutchinson

Barbara is the youngest of seven children and learned early on from her family of origin that we are only as strong as our weakest link. Her parents taught her the only way for change to happen is to have a conversation and see where it goes. In the field of marriage and family therapy we often discuss systems, a system is any sort of relationship that we interact with, that can mean work, family, couple, school, sports, siblings etc.
Barbara has been a therapist for 19 years and tells clients therapy starts with a conversation and from there we explore their areas of need. Barbara uses an integrative approach, pulling from various models to help clients meet their goals. She offers individual, family, and group therapy to all ages.
