 Ben Hutchings, M.A.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, #MH9687
Ben Hutchings believes change occurs from the inside out. During his eight years of experience, he has worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families struggling with addictions and codependency, family issues (divorce/separation), abuse and neglect, along with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. He graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary with his Masters in Counseling and is currently the President of the Central Florida Play Therapy chapter. He has been working with children and adolescents using play therapy techniques offering a safe place to share their difficulties, whether through talk or through play. His current focus of study is in attachment and relational bonding issues for young children and their parents. As a child who benefited from counseling, Ben desires to help children amidst their struggle, rather than years afterward.
