Welcome, I'm Janynea Hutchinson!
It is nice to meet you!
It is nice to meet you!
As a Licensed Graduate Marriage and Family Therapist (LGMFT) and trained sex therapist, I am deeply committed to providing a warm and supportive environment for individuals and couples to explore their relationships. My approach integrates attachment theory and narrative therapy to foster self-awareness and empower clients to pursue fulfilling relationships.
Drawing from my Afro-Latinx heritage, I have a profound appreciation for community and a genuine curiosity about diverse cultural experiences. In my view, creating a space where individuals can authentically explore their emotions is the cornerstone of facilitating meaningful change. My bubbly personality allows me to blend professionalism with a personal touch, creating a therapeutic space where laughter and deep emotional exploration can coexist.
My training at the Ackerman Institute for Family and my academic background in Sociology (B.S., Bowie State University) and Couples and Family Therapy (M.A., University of Maryland) have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of systemic dynamics and their impact on interpersonal relationships. I am passionate about helping clients navigate a wide range of challenges, including intimacy and sexual concerns, communication difficulties, infidelity, and trauma recovery. I am particularly interested in working with diverse populations and am dedicated to providing culturally sensitive and LGBTQIA+ affirmative care.
My clinical experience at the Center for Healthy Families allowed me to gain expertise in addressing anxiety, strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and supporting individuals and families through various life transitions. I am an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and remain committed to ongoing professional development.
On a personal note, I value connection, creativity, and cultural exploration. In my downtime, I find joy in music and roller skating. It is an honor to witness the transformative power of therapy, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapeutic services to all my clients.
I am excited about transforming with you in the near future!
