My name is Cassandra Butler, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker who has over 30 years of experience in providing mental health services, including therapy services. I help clients with anxiety, depression, family conflicts, grief, parenting issues, career difficulties, and life changes. I encourage and support clients as they make changes in their symptoms and behavior patterns that interfere with fulfilling their life goals.
I use therapy to help clients identify how their thoughts affect their emotions and behaviors. This will support them in making the changes needed to maximize their overall functioning. I can also provide therapy from a Christian perspective, if this is what the client prefers.
I facilitate an environment where clients are free to discuss their thoughts and feelings without the fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life can be challenging, but I am here to support you.

"As one who has experienced grief and transitional life changes, I have an understanding of how these experiences can affect our quality of life."
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I decided to become a counselor because I wanted to help people with symptoms and behaviors that affect their functioning and hinders them from living their best lives.
What types of clients do you work best with?
I work best with older children and adults.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish all clients knew that if they stay with the process, they can make progress in therapy.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
Clients can expect a therapist that will listen to their concerns in a nonjudgmental manner.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
I truly care about my clients and want them to make significant progress and life changes in therapy.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I tailor therapy to meets the client's unique needs by really listening to them and what they want to achieve in therapy.
