Meet Dr. Butler

Marlena Butler, PhD

I specialize in guiding individuals toward spiritual, physical, and emotional balance, empowering them to navigate their journey of healing, self-discovery, and rejuvenation. From addressing anxiety, anger, and grief to trauma processing and navigating toxic relationships, I equip my clients with the tools and encouragement they need to take charge of their well-being.

Due to my national licenses as a Clinical Christian Therapist and Clinical Pastoral Counselor, I am empowered to offer you unrestricted, expert care within my pastoral practice. A temperament assessment initiates our process, enabling me to deliver personalized care that addresses core issues, respecting your unique strengths and challenges without relying on generic approaches. During our 90-minute sessions, you’ll find a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your emotions freely. I’m here to support you on your path to hope and healing.
