Getting to know Sonya Butler

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with numerous years of dedicated experience and a Master's degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and various thought and mood disorders. My passion lies in helping my patients achieve mental well-being and regain control of their lives. Professional Expertise: Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations across various settings, including psychiatric clinics, hospitals, and private practices. This extensive exposure has equipped me with a broad understanding of the complexities and nuances of mental health conditions. My expertise extends to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various psychiatric disorders, ranging from common mood disorders to more complex thought disorders.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Specialized Areas: I have honed my skills in treating anxiety and depression, recognizing that these conditions can profoundly impact an individual's daily functioning and overall quality of life. Additionally, I am well-versed in addressing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from distressing events, offering a supportive and evidence-based approach to healing. Medication Management: As a prescribing PMHNP-BC, I incorporate psychopharmacology into my practice when necessary. I approach medication management with great caution and a focus on minimizing side effects while optimizing therapeutic benefits. My aim is to ensure my patients receive the most effective treatment while maintaining open communication to address any concerns they may have.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
