Janelle Butler

About me

Hello!
My name is Janelle and I have been working as a mental health counselor in the greater Seattle area for 5 years and now work from the east coast serving Washington state and beyond. I have mainly worked in community mental health , which means I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and presenting issues. I have found many people have become quite adept at avoiding emotional pain. These feelings can swirl around inside us and can deteriorate our physical and mental state over time. My goal is to help you isolate these negative patterns and beliefs, and then either change them into positive growth experiences, or alter the way they’re perceived. While this may result in immediate relief, lasting relief takes both time and effort.

Connecting with people on a personal and emotional level is one of the most important things we can do as humans. Oftentimes, both due to personal experiences or new technologies, we lose sight of this need and relationships begin to break down. It’s imperative that we repair these connections and find comfortable common ground. This begins with learning how to deal with our own past experiences that have resulted in trauma or shame. I can help you mend these relationships and reach closure.

Couples therapy is one of my passions. I have experience working with Gottman materials and have found some great success when all parties are motivated and engaged in the process. I look forward to working with you!
