Ann Hutcheson, LP — Therapist in Alabama

Hi there, I'm Ann!

Whether you are new or returning to therapy, I am here to help you reach your goals. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use. My job is to bring research-backed skills and expertise in a collaborative approach. It can feel overwhelming to reach out for therapy.

My focus

I work with adults of all ages who are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition, whether these are new symptoms, returning symptoms, or increased due to life stress. Have you been struggling with PTSD, anxiety, or depression and feel like nothing works? I will work alongside you to develop a plan of care based on your specific needs.

My approach

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients understand their symptoms, review treatment options, and develop goals. We will work side by side to make changes in thinking and behaviors. My priority is to help you learn tools and skills to navigate mental health symptoms and stressful events.

My communication style

My communication style is transparent, warm, open, and supportive. My hope is that my style fosters a working relationship to better understand your experiences and goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a clinical psychologist as I enjoy working with people and building on their resiliency and strengths. Life can be pretty rough at times, and having someone work side by side can make a big impact in your life. I am continuously amazed at how much therapy can change a person's life.

My goals for you

Working together, we will identify treatment goals based on what is important to you. Whether it is reducing symptoms of PTSD, improving your mood, or navigating difficult relationships, we will work together to make sure these goals are in line with what matters most to you. My goal is to help you become your own therapist.

Our first session

Our first session will consist of me getting a chance to know you, to know your worldview, your perspectives, and what matters to you. Based on that, we will go over a range of different treatment options to figure out which one will be the best fit.
