Joe Butler Therapy

With 30 years experience in the mental health field, helping others isn't just a job -- it's a calling. I specialize in working with emotionally charged and/or emotionally distant couples, folks suffering with anxiety and panic, and people longing for a life with more meaning, purpose, and joy.

Sometimes we're looking for practical help, other times we want something a little deeper. I teach both! In fact, practical tools are often times just what we need to get to the heart of the matter and to a life that is richer and more rewarding!

My education, training, and supervision is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, existential psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (and acceptance and commitment therapy -- a more recent extension of CBT). My couples work is informed by the Gottman Method, Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), and attachment theory.

Most importantly though, what I bring to my teaching is life long curiosity and passion for the depth of emotional suffering we encounter and the ever surprising power of love, compassion, and understanding to make us whole...
