About elizabeth fox butler

Hi, I’m Dr. Elizabeth Fox Butler. I’m a licensed clinical health psychologist, but you might also call me a mind mender and a sensitive person whisperer. I’m an HSP, a parent, and an introvert on a lifelong journey to hone self-acceptance and energy management through my own healing process.

I received my PsyD, which stands for “Doctor of Psychology,” from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University. A PsyD is similar to a PhD; the main difference is that my degree focused on spending many hours working directly with clients throughout my graduate education. PhD programs typically tend to be more research- and lab-based. Rather than doing research myself, I read the current research and apply it in everyday scenarios to help you!

I help Highly Sensitive and/or Neurodivergent individuals, romantic partners, and parent-child dyads understand, heal from and navigate anxiety, grief, strengths and struggles related to various sensitivities, and so much more. I specialize in the combination of late-recognized Autism and ADHD.

Who I Serve

I can help you if you’re ready for change but don’t know where to start. You long to feel accepted but lost when you try to express yourself. You want to stop hurting but aren’t sure how to comfort yourself.

I help neurodivergent people, highly sensitive and introverted adults, partnerships, teens, and parents:

  • Repair your relationships via improved communication and deeper, regulated listening
  • Embrace your strengths and flaws to reduce inner conflict
  • Learn to observe and manage day-to-day energy levels, structure your routines to fuel your energy and share your gifts
  • Cope with stress without feeling deprived or driven into unwanted coping attempts
  • Seek and embrace social support
  • Minimize, redirect, and soothe anxiety
  • Channel your sensitivity and use it for good
  • Modify your environment so you can thrive and enjoy the little things
  • Fine-tune and follow your intuition

My Approach

I know from my own growth and helping hundreds of sensitive and introverted clients that you, too, are capable of facing your fears, healing your pain, and living a full life. Change happens through subtle and steady action, which adds up to significant results. Click here for more information about my approach.
