Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Meet Megan Hutchinson:
Trauma Therapist in Lakewood, CO
In-Person in Lakewood + Online throughout CO
Hi! I’m Megan Hutchinson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), EMDR Certified therapist, and trauma-informed clinician with more than 16 years of experience supporting adults and families through complex life challenges. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each person’s capacity to heal.
Brought to you by a neurodivergent therapist specializing in neurodivergent care.
A Trauma-Informed, Neurodivergent-Affirming Practice
As someone diagnosed as neurodivergent later in life, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. I understand masking, burnout, and the quiet effort it can take to move through a world not designed for your nervous system. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming and collaborative, grounded in the belief that each of us carries unique strengths, gifts, and ways of experiencing the world.
My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for the human capacity to heal. I’m continually inspired by neuroscience and psychology, and I integrate insights from both into my therapeutic approach. I believe that understanding how our brains and bodies respond to stress and trauma can support meaningful, lasting change.
I strive to create a space where you can feel at ease and fully yourself — and I model that authenticity in my own relaxed, grounded presence (you'll often find me barefoot in session)!
About Megan
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my practice.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 16 years of experience supporting individuals and families through complex life challenges. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Denver in 2014 and have worked with diverse populations, including hospice clients, survivors of domestic violence, families navigating children’s mental-health and behavioral challenges, and adults with developmental disabilities.
My path into trauma therapy deepened through EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. As an EMDR Certified therapist, I specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences, reduce anxiety, and experience meaningful shifts. My work is informed by neuroscience and psychology, with an understanding of how stress and trauma affect the brain and body. The moments when insight, relief, and reconnection come together are still some of the most inspiring parts of my work.
I have also continued to expand my education in psychedelic-assisted therapies. With a Ketamine & Psychedelic Medicine Certification, I approach this emerging field with curiosity, responsibility, and respect for the importance of thoughtful preparation and integration. My personal experiences with psychedelics have been truly transformative, strengthening my belief in the power of connection and the true value of this work. I don't offer any modalities that I haven't personally benefited from.
Beyond the Therapy Room
When I’m not in session or continuing my education, I enjoy live music, hiking, gardening, reading, and time in nature. These practices help me stay grounded, creative, and connected—values that also inform how I show up in my work.
