Meet Dr. Lisa Hutson, Psy.D.

Prior to establishing my private therapy practice in the Charleston area, I honed my skills in a variety of clinical environments. These include college counseling, hospital-based eating disorder and health psychology programs, group practices, and community mental health. My experience also extends to providing psychological evaluations and related services in the area of bariatric/weight loss surgery and veteran disability cases.

 

Through extensive training at various doctoral rotations, including The University of Chicago Medical Center’s Eating Disorder Clinic, and working within college counseling, I cultivated a deep passion for treating individuals struggling with disordered eating and body-image concerns. These areas remain a central focus of my practice, and I am committed to continually expanding my knowledge through ongoing education and engagement with the latest research and treatment approaches. I also have a strong interest in treating anxiety as well as PTSD/trauma, and have undergone specialized clinical training in these areas to best support my clients. Group therapy work as well as understanding the therapeutic value of nature and wilderness-based therapies are other clinical interests of mine.
