About Dr. Butner

Real Guy.
Skilled Professional.
Spiritual Wayfinder.
Devoted Husband.
Proud Father.

I’m a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who connects easily with people from all backgrounds. As a follower of Jesus, my faith is rooted in grace, purpose, and life-giving principles—not rigid rules or judgment. I strive to reflect the compassion and kindness Jesus showed, especially to those marginalized by society. My therapeutic approach is informed by my own spiritual journey and real-life struggles and victories, along with my years of academic studies and professional training and experience.

I bring authenticity, humor, and creativity into my work—often drawing from music, movies, and other modes of storytelling and entertainment alongside more traditional tools. I’m passionate about nature, wildlife, photography, good coffee, OG Star Wars films, and solving puzzles, and those passions show up in my therapeutic style in meaningful ways. Come as you are—you’ll be accepted, supported, and encouraged in my office.
