My name is Dea Butcher and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the State of Massachusetts. I believe that every individual can achieve an optimum state of health and growth leading towards a sense of wholeness and well being. Individuals, families, and communities are part of a whole and each has an influence on the other. Problems may come from experiences during developmental stages, interactions with others or one’s environment, stress that may be internal or from our relationships with others, and differences between the self and gender or cultural norms.

All people are innately good and have the ability to heal themselves. Stressors are ever present in our everyday lives and are manifested through multiple ways. While these stressors can be the genesis of our problems, they are also the catalyst to starting the healing process. After making the decision to seek counseling and wellness care, the second most critical step is who will provide this care. At Westwind Counseling & Wellness we operate from a strong multicultural perspective providing time honored psychotherapy but with a focus on your whole health guided by the core values of Resiliency, Empowerment and Restoration.

I have been a therapist for many years. Therapy, I feel, begins with a relationship, and before someone leaves my office for the first time, I would like them to feel that they are understood and cared for. Very often, people feel overwhelmed in their marriage, , their other relationships, or their life at work. I try to tune in to their current discomfort quickly and give them the idea that we can work together to improve their life.

Above all, my over three decades of professional experience has taught me that central to one's sense of happiness and well being is the nature and quality of her or his human relationships. As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I am guided by this truth as I work with my clients.

I am a caring and empathetic professional with over twenty years in clinical social work and an equal number of years in pastoral counseling.

Therapy offers many possibilities- seeing old problems in a new and open way, being more alive in the world, celebrating the possibility of wonder, or learning more effective strategies for relating. This means exploring and addressing various kinds of dilemmas and pain. It may simply mean support with your creative process, or more commonly, with the feeling that you are “stuck”.
