Hi, thanks for taking some time to get to know me. I am Dr. Scott Butler. I am licensed in Louisiana and Arkansas as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from LSU and a Master’s and Ph.D. in mental health counseling from the University of New Orleans. I've been offering counseling for over 30 years. I was married for 30 years and have three daughters; one is an attorney, one is a licensed professional counselor, working on her Ph.D. and my youngest is a junior in college. I have worked in many different mental health settings including hospitals, crisis intervention hotlines, non-profit organizations, as a preferred provider for local and state agencies and over 20 years in adoption and foster care work. I have been deemed an expert witness in criminal and civil cases and have authored one novel, king cake baby. I use a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach to counseling which is a goal-oriented treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. I generally do 45 minute sessions. If interested in working with me, please provide your full name and an emergency contact name and number as this is required to facilitate professional counseling. Life can be difficult, right? Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we simply need someone to help guide us to a better place. I am a trained listener. I take in the information you provide and turn it back to you in a step by step approach to help you move beyond what brought you to me. Beginning this process with the right counselor helps you get better, faster. I hope to be that counselor.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience in a clinical setting. My goal is to help you expand your emotional intelligence so you can better understand yourself and people around you. This way, you'll know which tools can work best for you. You can find more harmony within yourself and in the way you interact with others, no matter what you're going through or what traumas you've experienced. My style is friendly and warm, yet very assertive. At a comfortable pace to you, we can get to the core of the issues that you may be aware or not aware of (unconscious), and you can get specific insights on how to adjust certain patterns that may be keeping you stuck or holding you back. You will better understand that what you feel about someone or a situation has a lot more to do with how you’re thinking than the actual person or situation per se. When you expand your mind a bit to a new perspective, you’ll notice how you can instantly feel differently. For this reason, you can benefit more from our sessions if you approach it with curiosity and an open mind. We can also go beyond the surface of what you're aware that you're thinking and feeling (conscious of) to what you may not be aware (meaning your subconscious). If you 're noticing that you want to be a certain way, but your actions contradict you, want to change something about your personality, or feel a certain way about yourself, but you can't even if you try, that means there's something in your subconscious that is preventing it. Once we bring the issue to your awareness, and resolve it, you can then transform from the inside out. I'm very effective with issues related to anxiety, depression, and relationships. I'm excited and honored to assist you with whatever you need. This is a safe and non-judgmental space. Let's do this! See you soon!

If you don't have a good relationship with your counselor, you won't make the progress you are hoping to achieve. I want to provide you with some information about me in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you. I have been a social worker for more than 20 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBT-Q, anger management, and the challenges of parenting.

You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 6 years of experience working with clients with dual diagnoses including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, substance abuse disorders, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Throughout my experience I have worked with clients in the group and individual therapy setting providing counseling related to family of origin issues, depression, substance use, grief/loss, loneliness, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and emptiness related to finding purpose. Prior to going back to school for counseling, I worked with clients and their partners with HIV/AIDS. I provide counseling through a person-centered perspective. I think it is important to let each client be the expert of their life, and recognize the personal strengths that are important in forming new ways to tackle ongoing issues that are holding each client back from finding and choosing to live their best, most fulfilled, lives. I think it is important for clients not only to participate in therapy, but also to participate in experiential modalities to recognize what will be helpful to work through experiences in the here and now. I want to meet each client where they are in their process toward change and fulfillment. Thank you for choosing to let me work with you while finding fulfillment.

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

  • With therapists: $100-300

Is mental health care and therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives.
