Bio

Hi, I am Dr. Jenn Hutchinson, OTR/L. I identify as nonbinary femme and my pronouns are they/them. I offer occupational therapy services with a focus on sexuality and intimacy counseling and education through telehealth visits for OR residents.

Sex is considered an activity of daily living and I personally believe that sex, sexuality, expression of gender, and creating intimate and loving connections are just as important to people’s overall health and well-being as any other occupation that is meaningful in their lives.

I am extremely passionate about the intersection of sexuality and intimacy with illness and disability. I approach issues of sexuality and intimacy from a holistic perspective looking at the influence and interplay of physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, social and environmental contexts to provide the best interventions to meet my clients' needs in these areas.

Some examples of interventions include:
- Adaptation and compensatory strategies for mental and physical disabilities
- Recommendations for environmental modification
- Strategies to conserve energy and manage fatigue
- Recommendations and instruction on how to use adaptive equipment
- Identifying and working with your sensory processing style
- Therapeutic exercise and home exercise programs
- Cognitive and executive function strategies
- Acceptance and commitment therapy to address behavioral change
- Pelvic health and wellness therapy

My aim is to work together with clients to help them identify their sexuality and intimacy related needs, collaborate on goal setting and intervention planning, be active as a team in therapy to help them be a human being to become a human doing!

My practice is aware and friendly towards:
- LGBTQIA+
- Kink/BDSM
- Polyamory/Non-Monogamy

Sessions are 50 minutes long. Initial evaluation and assessment visits are $200 and a flat rate of $150 per subsequent visit, due at time of service.

At this time I do not take insurance so sessions will be considered private pay with the option of receiving a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement based on your insurance coverage for out of network outpatient occupational therapy services.
