Currently accepting adult clients of any age, including seniors, with a focus on trauma, including domestic violence (including emotional, verbal, and financial abuse), sexual abuse/assault, religious trauma/cults, and various sources of PTSD. I have experience in working with various other traumas, not limited to those listed.
I focus on the wholeness of a person emotionally, physically, and spiritually. If my clients prefer, I can provide an effortless Biblical approach. I also enjoy using mindfulness along with CBT in sessions as well. Personally, I enjoy social gatherings in my city, singing in choir, spending time with family and friends and learning about random health topics. I am a mother of two little guys and I have been married for 8 years.
Hello there! Congrats on the brave choice you have made to reach out for help! I have a passion for helping people find healing and connection in their lives and relationships. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas and have over 12 years experience serving hundreds of individuals and couples to help them find healing and live their best lives.
If you’re here, chances are you’re carrying a lot—responsibilities, expectations, and maybe a quiet sense that something needs to shift. You don’t have to keep doing it all the hard way.
My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on real-life change. Together, we’ll uncover the strengths you already have and build tools you can actually use—so you feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and more in control of your life.
You won’t just talk about your stress—you’ll learn how to manage it.

My goal is for you to feel better, yes—but also to live better, with more ease, clarity, and fulfillment.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to supporting teens and adults through life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I am passionate about empowering individuals to navigate everyday struggles, build emotional awareness, and develop tools for healthier living. Whether someone is facing anxiety, trauma, depression, or suicidal thoughts, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be seen, heard, and supported.

Specializing in anxiety, sex therapy, and trauma recovery. I hold a Master’s in Counseling and Psychology, am EMDR-trained, and am currently pursuing my Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance. My work focuses on helping clients heal from trauma, reduce anxiety, and cultivate emotional and sexual well-being through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. Before becoming a therapist, I built a strong background in business, leadership, and process improvement, which now helps me bring clarity, structure, and empowerment into the therapy space. I use these strengths to help clients recognize their capabilities and move toward meaningful change.
I work with teenagers and adults, addressing anxiety, trauma, sexual concerns, women’s issues, and attachment challenges. As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I strive to create a welcoming and affirming environment for every client.
Reaching out for support isn’t easy, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges—whether anxiety, grief, or the weight of past experiences—on your own. I’m honored to walk beside you on your path toward healing, growth, and self-understanding.
Therapy to restore pleasure and emotional safety after sexual assault and other trauma for adults and their partners. I specialize in three areas: sex & intimacy, trauma & emotional regulation, and anxiety disorders such as OCD and BPD. I have extensive experience supporting individuals and partners experiencing intimacy challenges related to desire discrepancy, neurodivergence, and partners hoping to rebuild healthy sexual relationships. I strive to provide care in a space that deeply honors identity and lived experience.
Dedicated Therapist, Educator, and Lifelong Learner
My path to therapy wasn’t a straight line—it was a journey of persistence, family, and a commitment to helping others navigate their complex stories.
Born and raised in Tulsa, I earned a Psychology degree from Christian Brothers University before returning to Oklahoma to serve as an educator. With a second degree in Special Education focused on Emotional Disturbances, I spent years in the classroom supporting children and families through unique emotional challenges.
While I always felt called to therapy, I prioritized my roles as a mother and teacher in a small ranching community. Following a divorce, I turned that transition into a new beginning. As a single parent, I balanced full-time work and night school, graduating with my Master’s degree and a 4.0 GPA.
Real Experience for Real Life I bring clinical expertise in CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy, but also a wealth of lived experience. Today, I am remarried in a vibrant blended family with eight children and three grandkids. I intimately understand the dynamics of divorce, blended families, and the balancing act of personal growth. My family is my world, and this groundedness allows me to show up for you with authentic empathy and practical wisdom.
I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 3 years, and I specialize in family systems, child play therapy. I also work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
My therapy work is my purpose. I love what I do.
Individual Well Being, which includes stress and anxiety reduction, navigating life transitions, finding coping strategies and hope and meaning during grief and loss and working through trauma. Relationship Repair and Connection using couples and family therapy, parent child therapy and repairing sibling relationships. Creating What You Most Desire through discovering what gets in the way and then creating steps to get where you want to go..
My training as a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor, along with being a Registered Play Therapist gives me the best back ground to assist you in these areas. My Masters in Family Relations and Child Development and Post Graduate Work in Human Relations serve as a strong foundation. My professional training in the Gottman Method and Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy is very helpful, as well as being a Prepare Enrich Facilitator for Assessment of Couple Relationships.
My most recent intensive training program was to become a Certified Clinical EFT Practitioner. This is a powerful mind body approach. The lay public calls it "tapping".
I am in private practice focusing on all of the above, doing in person and online virtual therapy. And in the past I worked in the non profit world in a similar capacity, as a therapist and supervisor.
I currently hold supervisory status to supervise LPC Candidates and Registered Play Therapist Candidates.
As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and build a life worth celebrating.
I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families understand and resolve current challenges by exploring the long-standing patterns and perceptions that may be holding you back.
By integrating complementary therapy techniques, I provide a supportive space to work through difficult situations and move toward a more fulfilling future."
Hello, I’m Elizabeth Ashley Butler, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience in the mental health field and five years as a fully licensed therapist. My work is grounded in the belief that a strong and healthy client-therapist relationship is essential to successful outcomes in counseling. I see my role as a facilitator—creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space that fosters honesty, trust, healing, and personal growth.
I currently provide therapy to individuals, families, couples and adolescents from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I specialize in working with clients facing challenges related to trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, obesity, stress, life transitions, communication issues, workplace concerns, LGBTQ+ matters, and various mental health diagnoses.
Clinically, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs. My core modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Functional Family Therapy (FFT), along with other integrative techniques as appropriate.
From both personal and professional experience, I’ve come to understand that connection is foundational, acceptance is transformative, and meaningful change—while often challenging—is possible. Change can lead to healing, emotional strength, and a higher quality of life. It also opens the door to new opportunities and helps us break free from generational cycles that no longer serve us.
It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, self-awareness, and growth.
Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Hola, me alegro estás aquí. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma who works with individuals and families navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, substance use, and family-related challenges.
If life feels overwhelming, relationships feel strained, or past experiences are still affecting your present, you don’t have to carry that alone. I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to better understand what’s going on and create meaningful change.
My goal is to help you feel safer, stronger, and more in control of your life moving forward.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Tulsa, OK
Searching for therapists in Tulsa starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to focus on. Bios can also help you see whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Tulsa offers a mix of local therapy options across areas like Downtown, Brookside, Midtown, and nearby Broken Arrow, along with virtual appointments across Oklahoma. In-person care may work well if you prefer a nearby office, while virtual therapy can make scheduling easier if your day is less predictable. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Tulsa can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you search for Tulsa therapists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
