Senior Licensed Psychological Examiner, Licensed Professional Counselor
Deborah M. Butler has enjoyed working with children, youth and adults for over 30 years. She received her M.A. in Psychology from ETSU in 1980 and then became a Licensed Psychological Examiner in 1982 with competencies in both Clinical and Counseling areas. She later upgraded this license to Senior Psychological Examiner. She is also certified as a School Counselor K-12. Ms. Butler has worked in many community based settings such as: Northeast State Community College, Sullivan Elementary School, Lynn View Middle School, Department of Youth Development, Greene Valley Developmental Center, ETSU Counseling Center and in private practice.
Through the years Mrs. Butler has delivered services through individual counseling, group counseling, teaching classes and workshops, providing consultations, and networking with community agencies. These services required expertise in order to help others learn crisis and stress management, conflict resolution, interpersonal effectiveness, feelings management, communication skills, decision making and goal setting processes, time management, assertiveness, and leadership skills. Mrs. Butler has found that managing change (as in the transitions involved in career searches, new relationships, losses, aging, “empty nest”, etc.) are challenging and often involve learning new coping/effectiveness skills. Mrs. Butler is a Certified Tele-Mental Health Provider in regard to virtual counseling through Evergreen.
She accepts BlueCare (for children only), BCBS, CIGNA, OPTUM, TRI-CARE, UMR, and UHC.
Her self pay rate is $105 for intake visits and $85 after that for regular visits.
