About me

Hello, I'm Thea Cristwell-Butler, I have a Master's of Arts degree in Professional Counselor from Webster University, and I am currently working on earning my Doctorate degree from Liberty University in Community Care and Counseling. I primarily use Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment, Client-centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy when working with my clients. I have worked over 10 years with non-profit agencies, school settings, and community settings. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and small groups. I have helped my clients work through issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, mood disorders, and poor coping skills. If you are going through a difficult time and need help stabilizing your emotions, thoughts, and behavior, I can help.

I have found Thea to be a compassionate therapist! She makes me feel at ease and I have found that we share some things in common. I feel like she understands me and I have a sounding board.

Thea is really an awesome Therapist to work with! Her approach to discussions are unlike any that I've experienced before. She truly listens and tries to understand your perspective before walking you through the scenario. She really has made the process welcoming and smooth.

Thea really helped me overcome some of the stress and anxiety I was feeling after my dad passed away. She helped me navigate grief in a way I never would have been able to without her help. I feel like she was an amazing choice.

I’ve had such a great experience with my therapist and the app in general. I already have recommended better help to someone and they signed up and love it too. I’m very appreciative for my therapist and the access I get through the app. Texting between appointments has been so helpful. I wish everybody could have the experience I’ve had. My therapist really understands me and is perfectly suited for me and I never would have met her without the app. I have done therapy for 20 years and the experience I’ve had with better help has changed the way I feel like therapy has to be. I found the perfect therapist for me and the app is so easy to use. I couldn’t be happier with this experience so far.

Thea is a gem of a woman who takes time to really get to the basics and fundamentals of what you are struggling with to build on your mental and emotional and spiritual health. She would be a fantastic therapist for anyone in my opinion with her attention to detail and warmth but specifically is a huge find as a Christian based therapist who knows the bibles well and applies that to building you up and reminding you the truths about who you are and how wonderfully and purposefully you were made. I think she is amazing.
