I’m Laura Hutchins MA, LCMHC, LCAS, a therapist with more than 14 years of experience supporting adults through mental health challenges, neurodivergence, substance use, identity, life transitions, and the complicated seasons of life.

My approach is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in curiosity. I don’t believe therapy should be about forcing yourself to fit a mold that was never designed for you. Instead, I’m interested in helping you better understand yourself, work with your brain and body rather than against them, and build a life that feels more authentically yours.

I have a particular interest in neurodivergent-affirming care, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, trauma-informed practice, substance use, psychedelic and ketamine preparation and integration, and comprehensive assessment. My work draws from both professional training and a genuine curiosity about how people think, connect, cope, and grow.

Outside of work, I’m happiest around dogs, plants, fungi, science, writing, and the natural world. I value authenticity, humor, curiosity, and making space for people to show up as themselves.

Grounded Spectrum was created from that same belief: you deserve space to pause, understand yourself, and rebuild with care and intention.
