Heather is the best. She is a great listener and always helps me to clarify my mind and make the best decisions.

Heather Butler nailed it. I came into therapy because of life transition (retirement) and processing the associated changes. During our sessions, my mother passed away and so I was able to share some of the emotions that brought up as well.

I've had 4 therapists over my life. Heather has a down to earth relatability that I will always appreciate.

Heather listens and offers outstanding insights. She asks tough questions that we may not want to confront, but that we should. She sends immediate insights from her note-taking after the session and they always always help.

Heather is like having a friend…whose also highly qualified to give me actual advice! I feel like talking with her is just a weekly check in, doesn’t have to be super serious but also can be if I need it. She’s super down to earth, which I love so much more than a super clinical & clique “How does that make you feel?” type person.

Heather Butler has really helped me talk through situations I would never tell anyone.
