I am a licensed counselor with 15 years of diverse clinical work experience with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I specialize in complex family difficulties, cultural adaptation, mood disorders, psychosis and neurodevelopmental challenges.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. Many clients come in feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling in relationships, or trying to manage everything on their own. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, process what’s going on, and feel genuinely supported without judgment.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island, my work focuses on helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, relationship issues, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across mental health, child welfare, foster care, schools, community-based programs, and the juvenile court system, supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments.

As a dually licensed LPC and LMHC, I view the therapeutic process as a shared journey of discovery. With 6 years of experience spanning the full developmental spectrum—from the playful energy of children and teens to the seasoned wisdom of our elders—I specialize in meeting people exactly where they are. My practice is built on honoring diversity in all its forms, ensuring that every individual, duo, or group feels seen in their unique self-image.

I am an experienced professional with a strong background in supporting people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and depression, life changes, lack of confidence, communication issues, and chronic illness. I work collaboratively with clients to identify practical, meaningful changes that can create the greatest positive impact in their lives. My approach is interactive, respectful, direct, encouraging, and sometimes includes a bit of humor. I strive to create a supportive environment that is both encouraging and authentic. All are welcome. PhD Psychology, Licensed Psychologist

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.

I’m a Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel supportive, respectful, and personalized. I work with adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, and life stressors. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.

My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.
