Mel Butler

Non-binary neurodivergent psychotherapist dedicated to helping you navigate your non-monogamous relationship.

As a neurodivergent non-binary therapist, I don’t believe in a default ‘normal’ experience (or person)! In our work together, I prioritize creating a non-hierarchical, collaborative therapeutic relationship where I set aside assumptions and help you center your autonomy and authenticity in all aspects of your life. I bring 12 years of experience in the mental health field and a strong commitment to radical mental health work and disability justice to support you in this process.
