Courtney Butler LCSW

I work to help clients discover their true selves. I will meet you where you are in your journey and will help to facilitate the changes that will help you be a happier and healthier version of yourself. I encourage clients to be at the center of their healing; I want you to guide your journey, with my assistance, to find the path that best for you. I love helping clients identify thought patters, behavioral responses, and pressures/expectations that cause a problem in their day to day lives; once we become aware of these patterns, we can determine where they come from, how to challenge them and eventually how to change them. It all starts with the decision to change and the willingness to look for the solution.

I use a mixture of approaches that stem from my training as well as my professional and personal experiences. I typically take a trauma informed cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach, with principles of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I do provide behavioral consultation and training for families who are experiencing behavioral and emotional concerns at home; counseling with children and teens available when appropriate.
