Lea Hutchins began her work in the field of psychotherapy and personal growth in 1978. She opened her first practice in Seattle in 1983. She has a Masters degree in Psychology and has experience in outpatient mental health settings, residential treatment facilities, and in private practice. She is a licensed clinical mental health counselor, currently working in private practice in the seacoast region of New Hampshire.

Lea brings a holistic orientation to her work, which means that she focuses on the whole person; appreciating and working with all the inner resources each individual has, their strengths and potentials as well as those areas in which they may be experiencing difficulty.

This perspective enhances her ability to respect and work with each person based on their particular needs and goals, taking into account their total well-being. In addition to her psychotherapy training, Lea also has experience in meditation. In all her work, Lea conducts therapy with confidentiality, respect, and appreciation for each individual.
