Hello there!
My name is Marisa and I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 6 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals from widely diverse backgrounds, with varying symptoms and diagnoses. Throughout the past couple of years, I have been predominately working with women (adults and teens) who experience anxiety, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges. While many of the clients I support have experienced trauma, particularly in some form of abuse, I am equipped to work with clients with a wide range of additional concerns, as well.
My goal is to guide clients to improve their interpersonal relationships, overcome life stresses, and feel less depressed and anxious. With 30 years of experience, I view therapy as a partnership where client and therapist work together. If setting goals and having an accountability partner in reaching those goals resonates, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
Hello, I'm Evelyn Butler, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Welcome—I'm glad you're here. I understand that seeking mental health care can be a difficult step, and my goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. I believe in listening first and caring for the whole person, not just treating symptoms. My approach is rooted in compassion, professionalism, and evidence-based practice. I take the time to understand each patient's unique experiences, provide education so you can make informed decisions about your care, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. I view mental health care as a partnership, and my hope is that every patient leaves feeling heard, respected, supported, and encouraged
