Thea Cristwell-Butler

My communication style

I create a caring and nonjudgmental environment where you feel you have a genuine friend and ally. Many clients report feeling comfortable working with me and that their self-confidence and self-love have grown over time.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was previously a special education teacher and many of my students would feel comfortable enough to tell me their problems. I found myself utilizing my lunch break for students who just needed to talk and feel heard. As a result, I decided to go back to school and earn my Masters degree in Professional Counseling. I genuinely like helping people.

My goals for you

I believe you are the expert in your own life. I facilitate you taking the lead in creating your goals. I act as a consultant and give suggestions when you request assistance, but ultimately, the goals are driven by what you want to accomplish.

Our first session

During the first session, my priority is getting to know you in-depth, establishing therapeutic expectations, and collaborating with you to create your therapeutic goals.
