Dr. Paul D. Butler, DMin

Psychotherapist
NY
I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where individuals can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. My work is rooted in trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally responsive care, with therapy shaped by each patient’s lived experience, values, and goals. Drawing from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and narrative approaches, I help individuals build insight, strengthen coping skills, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and respectful, and I strive to walk alongside my patients at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
