Lisa Butler, LCSW
About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist that has worked as a School Social Worker for 14 years. I have also worked as a SPARCS facilitator and substance abuse clinician for a Juvenile Detention Center for 9 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance use disorders, and chronic stress. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychotherapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Lisa is easy to talk to because she is a good listener and asks good questions. She provides exercises to help you work through the things you discuss. I like her calm, encouraging manner.

Warm and friendly, she’s able to tackle issues/provide solutions with sincerity and care. I can’t thank her enough for her efforts in helping me out of a difficult time and definitely appreciate having her as my first ever therapist!

Lisa has been instrumental in helping me achieve the level of emotional stability and intellectual, thinking in terms of my emotional management. Lisa also provided various different worksheets and aids which were thought-provoking and really helpful
