Andrea Butler LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Andrea Butler is a licensed marriage and family therapist. Andrea obtained her Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Stetson University in 2006, and was grateful to be able to follow her passion in a career change. She also has an undergraduate degree in Marketing/Business from Stetson University and a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Nova University in Ft. Lauderdale. She is happy to be a local resident of New Smyrna Beach and serve clients in her community.
Andrea specializes in working with adult clients who are experiencing grief and loss, relationship issues, trauma, substance abuse, aging and employment concerns. Andrea was the Director of Trauma Intervention Services in Milford, MA where she supervised other therapists and supported clients in a grant funded community program. She has worked with clients of all ages in outpatient therapy and in the business world as a behavioral health clinician.
Her therapy approach is solution focused and she has studied brain research to include CBT, DBT, mindfulness and meditation effectiveness. She enjoys encouraging all who seek therapy in their journey to rediscover themselves and recover from whatever has kept them from thriving. She believes there is always time to start wherever you are to enjoy living in the present and taking the first step to seek help is a huge one.
Andrea believes the safe non-judgmental therapeutic relationship can be the first step to healing and enjoys encouraging others to seek their natural supports. Her wisdom through the journey of grief and loss has shown her it is not just the time you need to heal but what you do with the time. As children we knew how to enjoy the moment and it is never too late to realize today can be the change we need. She has experienced the tremendous benefit of therapy in her own life and is excited at the opportunity to share her training, wisdom and insight with you too.
