My name is Liz, and I have 14 years of experience in the mental health field. Over the past 9 months, I have been practicing as a licensed professional counselor. I take an integrative approach to therapy, with a strong emphasis on practicing from a Humanistic stance, by integrating evidenced-based theoretical approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My eclectic approach allows me to tailor my work to meet the unique needs of each client, fostering a safe, supportive, and effective environment for growth and healing.

I started providing mental health services in the community in 2016 as a behavior technician. Once graduated I became a psychotherapy resident and later completed full psychotherapist licensure requirements with a specialty in marriage and family therapy. My therapeutic style is psychodynamic/psychoeducational, which means I help individuals understand the psychological underlying motivations for their behaviors impacting their mood shifts and precipitating symptoms and/or relational distress and impacts on our day to day activities. Relational distress is not confined to couples. Relational distress (mostly precipitated by depression and anxiety and as the cause of depression/anxiety in a never ending loop) includes connections in all existing contexts. Day to day actives impacted by mood shifts and symptoms of depression and anxiety can range from our daily personal hygiene routines to balancing (or rather neglecting to) a check book, to job performance, to dysregulation showing up in additive day to day behaviors (alcohol and drugs are not the only addition behaviors presenting as dysregulation). In my practice, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where the client and therapist work together. My work is grounded in mutual respect, empathy, unconditional regard, and trust. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental place where the individual can explore thoughts, feelings and stances impacting their interpersonal, intrapersonal, and day to day experiences with honesty and openness. To me, growth and change are deeply personal experiences and unique to each individual. A transformative process that unfolds carefully and mindfully over time. My role is to provide guidance and tools towards the path of healing and self discovery of insights and resilience as the individual, couple, or the family reach their desired goals.

Healing is a dynamic and individualized process, shaped by your unique experiences, strengths, and aspirations. It's about exploring emotions, beliefs, and patterns that may be holding you back while nurturing new perspectives and skills to support your well-being. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply guidance through life’s transitions, Im here to provide a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Hello and welcome! I am Ashley Butt, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience specializing in mental health assessment and treatment. When indicated, I support the integration of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) into therapeutic practice. Recognizing the profound bond between humans and animals, I have developed a unique expertise in assessing patients' needs for ESAs. My holistic approach draws from Attachment Theory and Ecological Systems Theory, emphasizing the importance of supportive relationships in fostering emotional healing. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, or trauma, I am dedicated to supporting my clients in achieving a deeper understanding of themselves. When requested I will complete an assessment and explore the unique benefits that an ESA can bring to a persons' mental health journey. I am able to provide the necessary documentation for an individual in need of an ESA.

Therapy should be interactive and dynamic and this is generated from focusing on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with a strong grounding in Strengths Perspective. A variety of issues to include Depression and Anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, and personality disorders are areas in which I have particular experience in treating. The relationship between therapist and client should be one of trust and competence and it should promote open communication and honesty for change to occur. My clinical experiences began in acute psychiatric treatment facilities and have taken me through a variety of environments and populations to include adolescents as well as adults. I feel the therapeutic relationship can produce change through hard work and guidance as well as creativity and persistence. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important foundations for change.
