Nicole Butler

My approach is pretty simple, I show up, listen closely, cut through the noise, and help clients figure out what’s next. I don’t believe in overcomplicating things or sugarcoating what needs to be said, especially when someone’s in a tough spot. I’ve spent most of my career working with adolescents and young adults, who are navigating life stressors, difficulty in relationships, and the many challenges of becoming more independent. I use a mix of CBT and DBT tools to help you notice patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and practice new skills that support the changes you want to make. Whether you're working on anxiety, addressing trauma, establishing boundaries, or quieting that inner critic, these approaches give us something practical to work with. In addition to individual therapy, my agency provides case management services to support clients in accessing resources, coordinating care, and navigating complex systems. If you’re interested in learning more about therapy or case management services, please reach out directly or search for Ascend Community Wellness in Kennebunk, ME to submit a referral online. Credentials & Experience: With over a decade in social work and nearly three years as a clinician, I focus on supporting clients through life's challenges, helping them build resilience, process emotions, and make meaningful changes.
