Olive Branch Counseling and Training

Olive Branch Counseling and Training Olive Branch offers individual and family counseling, and play therapy. We have offices in Boerne, Helotes and Brady Texas.

We offer in person and telehealth services. My name is Amy Hutchinson and I am the owner of Olive Branch Counseling and Training, PLLC. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Southwest Texas State University and in 1996 earned my lifetime certification as a teacher. My focus for over 15 years was working with special needs populations including students receiving special education as well as those identified for gifted and talented programs. More recently, in 2012, I completed my Master of Arts degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio and am now a Licensed Professional Counselor. My career in education and the opportunity to work with students, teachers and parents has profoundly shaped me as a counselor and I am grateful for the experience. I have enjoyed helping many families facing changes such as divorce, and relocations as well as offering guidance to client’s that need support as they navigate the typical developmental adjustments that everyone experiences in their life. I truly believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship between counselor and client. It is the greatest tool to empower change and I am mindful to take special care of the relationship. I am an existentialist and believe in making meaning of one’s experiences. Some of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves are to heighten our own awareness, be authentic, and present in our own lives. Olive branch has grown over the years and we have two locations. One in Boerne and one in Helotes, Texas. We work with children ages 4 and older, as well as tweens, adolescents, teenagers and adults.

Identity work: the whole point is to know yourself so intimately that no one’s projection or judgement could ever disturb your reality of who you are.
