About me
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.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Scott Butler. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
He is great
Dr. Butler is an expert in the field. I recommend him to anyone looking to better themselves and or their relationship.
Dr. Butler gave me hope that my relationship is fixable. He gave us both a push to be better and gave us the tools to do so. Thank You Dr. Butler!
Dr. Butler was extremely helpful and very professional. He was a delight to meet with and really helped my wife and I work on some of our issues. We would both HIGHLY recommend him for any couples struggling.
The best therapist I’ve ever had. 10 out of 10, would recommend.
Scott has been a great choice of therapist for us. Direct and plain talking. He gave us some really helpful practical tips and techniques to improve our communication. Thanks Scott : )
Dr. Butler is quick to understand the background of your story and immediately starts giving helpful guidance and feedback relevant to your individual situation. He has a very direct and get done to business style that I appreciate very much without all the round about sugar coating.
We haven’t been with Dr Butler long and we have had other therapists in the past. I find Dr Butler genuinely makes an effort to fully understand the issue before providing any help and that has made us both feel that he listens to understand and then gives really practical advice that truly address whatever situation we are grappling with. I would recommend Dr Butler to anyone who will listen!
This is our second time working with Dr. Bulter. He has a good way of really cutting to the quick in a way that helps us utilize our time spent with him. We feel like we have gotten the most progress out of our time with him because of this ability. We can say that he makes the most efficient use of our time by getting to the heart of the problem(s), the necessary changes, and keeps it real by keeping it in the context of our problems are not unique and these are ways that they are usually dealt with. We have genuinely appreciated his direct insights.
Dr Butler has been great. He has helped us develop new skills to communicate and improve our relationship.
Professional, insightful, straight talk that has been very helpful for our marriage.
Dr. Butler is amazing. Always helpful & makes you feel like you’re his only appointment - every time. Thanks Dr. B!!!
He’s the best counselor I have worked with. Very thorough and really has a great way of pulling your emotions out of you and then explaining why you have those emotions. Doesn’t take sides and gives us both equal time to speak. He’s great.
Dr. Butler is outstanding.
He is good. Schedule is a challenge
Dr. Butler, or Dr. Scott, has been a relationship and life changer. While he is very warm and inviting as a counselor, he also doesn’t pull any punches. He gives you real, tangible solutions and goals to tend to between sessions. He helps you learn how to hold yourself accountable to the “work” of therapy. I often hear him in my head telling me, “remember, the real therapy starts when our session ends.” I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone who is even slightly considering relationship counseling.
Dr. Butler is very professional. He has taken his time to get to know each of us so that he can help us as a couple.
Dr Butler is an extremely good counselor.
Great counselor!
Dr Butler has helped me. He is great. Thank you!
Dr. Butler is straight to the point. We needed that.
Dr. Butler has the ability to ask the right questions and also intuit what feelings are likely at the root of a concern. His advices are practical and easy to understand. He’s an excellent listener and give feedback that makes me feel understood and valid.
We went through 8 counselors then found Dr. Butler. He is excellent and committed to his work. He also puts aside "psycho-babble" in favor of real life and real responses.
Dr. Butler was extremely helpful in addressing our initial concerns, and he was able to get us there in a surprisingly short period. The bottom line is, if both sides want it, and both sides are willing, Dr. Butler can guide you to your destination.
I am impressed by Dr. Butler's ability to quickly recognize relationship situations to be able to diagnose the issues in order to work on them in the most productive way possible.
I feel confident he is able to provide us the information we need to have a great marriage.
