Jay Butler Resident in Counseling

ABOUT

Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why is this happening to me?” or “What am I supposed to do now?”

Maybe life has changed. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next move. You know you want things to get better – you just aren’t quite sure how to get there.

My name is Jay, and I help people who are trying to figure out who they are, why this season of life feels so difficult, and how to move forward with purpose.

My approach to counseling is warm, curious, and purposeful. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest, ask hard questions, and take the risk of being vulnerable. You don’t have to come into the room with everything figured out.

I especially enjoy working with adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, stress, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and questions about meaning or purpose. I also enjoy working with men, young adults, college students, and professionals.

When you work with me, you can expect genuine conversation, thoughtful questions, and yes – a little humor. Sometimes I’ll listen. Sometimes I’ll challenge you. Together, we’ll work to understand where you are and explore what moving forward could look like for you.

For individuals who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling from a Christian perspective. Faith is incorporated at your request and in a way that supports your counseling goals.

You can take the risk of being vulnerable here. Let’s figure out what’s next – together.

If you’re ready to get started, I invite you to reach out. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step toward healing and growth.
