Trust- The therapeutic relationship is based on trust. I won't lie to you and I will not just tell you what you want to hear. That does mean at times I may challenge you, but I will always do so with kindness, respect and with your therapeutic goals in mind. You are coming to therapy to change yourself or your circumstances but change does not occur without challenge.
If I am not the right person to help you, I will let you know. If I do not feel therapy will be beneficial for you or I feel that it is time to graduate from therapy, I will let you know that too. Fairness- Mental health care can be expensive, with or without insurance. I will always review potential charges with you and do my best to advise you on the most cost effective route for your situation and needs.

Or as my clients like to call me, Dr. B. I have been fortunate to have spent the past 20 years pursuing my passion of helping others to discover their best selves and live a more fulfilling life. It has been an honor to be a co-navigator with thousands of clients on their individual journeys. Those clients have often remarked that they find my approach to be warm, welcoming and accepting.
Therapy is a contemplative process of self-discovery and understanding with the goal of reducing emotional suffering, identifying and changing unconscious behavioral patterns, building resiliency in coping with life stressors and adverse life experiences, promoting overall wellness and greater life joy and developing awareness in relationships that leads to more genuine and fulfilling connections.
If you or your adolescent are experiencing any of the above you are not alone. Anxiety is the most commonly diagnosed mental health condition affecting 18.1% of adults and 25.1% of adolescents in the United States every year.
While some amount of anxiety is normal in response to life stressors or events, chronic anxiety, avoidance of life tasks or situations or negative changes to one's ability to function effectively at home, work, school or in relationships is not.Clinical anxiety usually develops from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events.

The decision to seek therapy is a personal one and the reasons vary greatly. An individual can seek therapy for personal growth, to relieve distressing emotions, to heal past trauma, to improve relationships, to feel better about themselves, to change problematic behaviors, or to feel greater happiness.

Dr. Butler is one of the most amazing medical professionals I have ever met. When I first started I remember telling her there was no way I would be able to do what she recommended. Here I am, 2+ years later, "graduating" from therapy. I could not have gotten where I am today without her. She will forever be one of those people who have touched my life and forever made the most significant impact on me and my well being.

Dr. Butler has helped me tremendously. I am so grateful for her warmth and caring as well as her professionalism. She helped me with depression and anxiety by helping me to love myself and be gentle with myself. She brought to my attention different perspectives and ways of framing my issues in order to make better decisions. She reminded me of the big picture when I got stuck and confused in too many details. I am much stronger than when I first started therapy and feel confident that I can handle whatever comes up in my life now.

I have been working with Dr. Butler for 6 months now and have noticed significant changes in my thought processes. She has truly helped me to learn how to battle depression and anxiety. Attending her therapy sessions has helped me to understand more about myself and my behavior. I have become more social, kind, friendly, more capable of dealing with anxiety on my own, and I finally feel happy and fulfilled. Dr. Butler has really helped me to "plant the seeds" for change. She is truly amazing and knowledgeable.
