HOW WE CAN HELP

psychologist Naples FL

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Therapy is a space to explore, understand, heal, and grow. Whether you’re looking for help to cope, to change, or to overcome, therapy can be a powerful support along the way.

Dr. Butler and her team believe that the heart of therapy lies in the relationship — one built on trust, respect, and genuine connection. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can bring your full self and be met with empathy and curiosity. Therapy is a collaborative process with the goals of therapy being chosen by you. Dr. Butler has been trained in many different treatment modalities, and tailors the treatment intervention to the individual, not the diagnosis.

Dr. Butler provides both in-person and telehealth therapy (on a HIPAA-secure platform).
