Welcome! I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating life's most painful or complex challenges. My practice focuses heavily on helping people heal from trauma, manage stress and anxiety, work through depression, and navigate difficult relationship or family dynamics. I have a deep passion for supporting women's unique experiences—including maternal, pregnancy, and postpartum mental health—as well as helping individuals explore identity, cope with chronic health conditions, and process grief or life transitions. No matter who you are or what background you come from, my goal is to provide an inclusive, open-minded space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and heard.

I am a Certified Hypnotherapist as well as a Certified Financial Social Worker, and use many different methods to help you access your inner strengths, so that you can become more emotionally whole and financially stable. Through online meetings using phone or video, I work with clients to identify behaviors that are impacting emotional health, and through a variety of techniques, help them do change work, making important shifts in their thinking, feeling, and behavior.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Providence
Finding therapists in Providence starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare therapists Providence, read for more than credentials. A therapist’s bio can show their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Providence has a smaller local market than many major cities, so availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. If you prefer in-person counseling in Providence, RI, consider office location, commute time, parking, and access from areas like Federal Hill, Downtown, the East Side, or College Hill. Virtual therapy can also expand your options across Rhode Island when local openings are limited. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation so you can get a clearer sense of fit.
Therapy in Providence can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists Providence, RI, review profiles, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and may be accepting new patients.
