Definitely among the best MFTs in the area.
But that's not saying much. I have been in contact with many dozens of mental health professionals in the Bay Area (and beyond - I have extensive experience as a volunteer Crisis Counselor for Crisis Text Line and have done other work in the mental health field). And I am sad to say that the vast majority of them are not as good as the volunteers I have worked with. In fact, many of them are very capable of doing more harm than good...and often do.
But Dr Hutt knows his stuff. He had more success by the second visit with my son than the previous two MFTs had in 2+ years.
Of course when working with mental health issues, one should aim to "click" with their therapist. So Dr Hutt may not be for everyone. But if you want a straight-shooter who has a ton of experience and education, Dr Hutt is probably worth trying. Just don't expect to get an appointment right away. Because he is relatively good, he tends to be booked well in advance. read more
