Raymond Butts

very relatable

Raymond is great

Ray is kind, respectful, very personable, listens and gives good advice, responds to messages quickly, and checks on me several times a week via text in app which I greatly appreciate. I look forward to continuing with him and teen counseling as a whole.

I have only had a few sessions with Ray thus far but they have been extremely helpful and empowereing. He listens, really listens. . . I feel heard and loved. Looking forward to continuing on this path.

Ray kindly helps me think about how to navigate around my difficulties and to see my strengths in a way I can easily understand. He uses examples and word pictures that help me reason on things. And it helps so very much.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Raymond. He listens and supports me in the way that is needed. I enjoy talking with him. He makes me feel very comfortable, like I'm talking to a friend.

Raymond takes an impartial approach to couples therapy and communicates in a casual manner that is approachable and unoffensive.

Feel very comfortable talking to him

Raymond is a great listener and gives appropriate and professional feedback, and evidenced-based interventions.

I am in a very unique situation and Mr. Butts assessed it and answered my concerns and any questions I had!

Very kind, responsive, and truly cares about the people he works with.

He really good responding to all our messages

Raymond is incredibly supportive and always has valuable insights about whatever is on my mind. He always has a great ice breaker and he takes a keen interest in you and your life. Overall he’s a great guy and he’s been awesome in my healing journey.

Connected with Ray almost instantly. Have felt real comfortable with him. He has made this first venture into therapy extremely Ppeasant and helped alleviate a lot of my fears starting with therapy.

Raymond is exceptionally knowledgeable. He’s very warm and inviting and easy to talk to.

Great person to talk to one on one he is very understanding and wise he knows how to connect to people from his personal experiences and can relate to people on so many different levels ….

Ray is awesome and old enough to have a lifetime of experience which is worth its weight in gold!

I feel fortunate to have Raymond Butts as my therapist. He’s authentic, supportive, he listens and understands. He helps me understand and talks me through my thoughts. I’m very thankful for him.

Ray has been such a great asset and is always reaching out to make sure I’m good! I tend to forget due to a super busy schedule. Thank you Ray!

One of the best therapists I've had in my life, and I've had several, including a lot who had no idea what they were doing and did more harm than good. It's astounding to me how many mediocre or bad therapists there are out there, but I would highly recommend Raymond Butts. I always feel better after our interactions, and not only that but he gives me activities or things to work on or think about, so it makes me feel like I'm really working toward my mental and emotional health goals.

Raymond has been very open and honest with us about the struggles within relationships and the challenges of developing open and honest communication. His recommendations for practicing communication skills are spot on.

Great listener, ray is great at seeing problems and identifying the underlying root to them. He has helped me focus my priorities, and offload stress

We have been incredibly happy with the experience provided by our therapist

One of the nicest people I have encountered, so caring and has tremendous insight. He has helped me and my husband's relationship so much and I am greatful to him. Thank you.

Ray has been amazing and changed the communication in our relationship after one session! He listens so patiently and has so many useful ideas and tools! Highly recommend! Thanks so much Ray!

Ray is a down to earth guy who can understand and relate with my issues.

Ray is great. He has great insight into what my husband and I need. We feel like he hears both of our concerns and addresses them equally. He provides takeaways that we can implement immediately after the session to improve our relationship.

Raymond is awesome , he is helping with personal issues I hid for so long .

Ray is very helpful. Checks in and listens to me. Highly recommend

Ray is a great sounding board, and had great input on my situation, having experienced similar situations to my significant other in his lifetime. It was nice to hear the male perspective, to feel heard and validated, and to know my approach to let my significant other know my feelings was both respectful and appropriate. Ray is like the grandpa you always wanted

Ramon’s is great! I was not sure about this option but I am actually very happy with it.

Ray is the best

Raymond has been great for my son! He really enjoys their conversations and Raymond’s perspective on situations in life.

He listens and checks up on me every chance he gets.

He is very patient, great at summarizing and interpreting what my husband and I say, and gives supporting examples to help us different perspectives.

He is a great therapist, easy-to-talk to . Great advice

Dr Butts is very personable.

Raymond is just easy to talk to. We are in the beginning stages but I feel I have found a good match in hom

Ray has been such a blessing. It has been so easy to start the counseling process with him and he has really helped me talk through some things. I would HIGHLY recommend him to ANYONE. He is so easy to get in touch with and his past experience is indicative of how good he is at this job. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Most down to earth and understanding. Also understanding of what I've been thru.

While I've spoken with a few different therapists (inside and outside of teen counseling), Raymond is one of my favorites. He is very personable, and has a lot of experience to draw from. Being in Alaska usually means that our experience is different than what others are used to, so it means a lot that he understands that side of our lives and how it impacts us as individuals and as a couple.

He has total caring grandpa energy. I didn't really have that experience growing up and he gives off that vibe. 100% recommend

Raymond listens and helps me to understand my own feelings and checks up on me.

He is gifted in relating to people and sharing stories. He’s helped me through a wide range of both work and family issues. He frequently reaches out by text to check on me just in case I want to talk between sessions.

Raymond is a fantastic counselor and mentor. I could not be happier with the support, encouragement, and in-depth discussions. Raymond challenged me to better myself and think critically and empowered me to continue growing and changing for the better. Thank you!!

Raymond listens well and helps us understand our interactions better so that we can better our communication. He knows well how to interact with us and with our problems. Kind, and knowledgable. We are very happy that we get to meet with him!

Always on time and has been a really good resource for help in a time of need.

Thoughtful and makes me feel supported!

Ray is amazing, he is knowledgeable, supportive and always there when I need help.

I’ve only had one session with Mr. Butts but have already grown fond. He seems like a very personable person who’s also very compassionate and empathetic to your specific situations. Look forward to many more sessions and am confident that he will help me overcome or effectively treat some of my major difficulties in life.

I really appreciate the support he gave me. I always felt listened to and like he is on my side. He is a great person to have in your corner.

My son has really connected well with Raymond! Great fit! After years of trying counseling, he’s finally able to find it worthwhile, and it shows in his behavior.

Raymond is great counselor that has helped me in many ways. Most of all communications. I would recommend him to anyone.

I am having a wonderful time diving into my self and becoming a better me with the help or Raymond. He is amazing and we speak the same language. I love how he understands my work life and we have connected quickly.

10 out of 10

Ray is AMAZING!

Raymond has been very attentive and has given great feedback

So grateful for all the encouragement and support during a time of life changes. Thank you

Ray is the man. Thankful that I get to work with him!

Ray is great. I'm frustrated with teen counseling not being fully compatible with FSA IRS requirements.

Raymond makes me feel comfortable speaking about myself and has provided some great guidance!

Ray is awesome. Easy to talk to.
I mainly joined to try to connect with my sons.
It hasn’t happened. Disappointed

Great personality, understands me perfectly. Has. A great understanding of First responders, military and other trauma related things. I love listening to him as much as he listens to me!

Ray is all you want in a therapist - empathetic, knowledgeable, flexible and has great inputs. Most of all, he has gone through a lot himself, so he can offer perspective . He’s a great person to hold your hand in difficult times

I am really happy with his help

Great guy, very warm and easy to talk to and informative

raymond has been very helpful for my fiancé and myself ‘n’ we look forward to continuing our sessions with him and finding the tools we need to have the best marriage possible as we move forward

Raymond is a solid therapist, no complaints so far. He’s been great!

Ray is such an amazing counselor. He truly has been there for me in my dark hours and I am so grateful. Thank you Ray!!

In a time of hopelessness I made the right decision to use teen counseling. The first therapist I turned down and had an instinct Ray was the one to choose. I am amazed I made such a correct decision in my fog I was in.

Raymond was easy to talk to and helped me in the things I asked

Raymond is nothing short of great, he listens and always gives a caring way to help get past difficult situations.

I would say Ray is very professional and adaptable to the age group he is given. Writing as a 15yr girl, I would say he does a good job giving me advice and offers a nice fresh opinion on things. I would definitely recommend him to someone else.

Ray is a great listener and our sessions are conversational, so I feel at ease when I'm trying to figure myself out. I'd recommend Ray to anyone!

Ray is a really good man, has a big heart and I feel he genuinely cares for his clients, he has alot of varied experience and has dealt with people from all walks of life as he has also walked many of them himself. He's helpful and understanding, never judgmental and means only well. I am happy and will continue to let him route around in my head to help me find answers to my problems as I feel I'm in very capable hands ❤️

The nicest guy you could ever talk to! really big help inspiring me to improve my quality of life. 5 Stars!

Ray is so nice!

Always listens, gives great advice and is always here for you. He really does care a lot, you can feel it. Knowing there is a person who is fully committed and here for you gives you reassurance and hope. Ray is not only a great therapist but a great man and a great human being.

Ray is a personable man that has a way of connecting with you right off that bat. Being a experienced man Ray has offered my wife and I great advise on how resolve issues. I’m a strong believer in the more people you work with the more tricks you pick up and Ray is definitely on the list of time we’ll spent.

Ray makes me feel comfortable opening up to him about what’s bothering me. I can reach out to him about little things or bigger things and he helps me work through anything I need.

Ray is what I would consider a people person. Very pleasant, friendly, humorous, empathetic and he listens.

We’re going on our 4th session, and even this early in the therapy, I really believe he’s going to make a difference in my life

Helpful!

Ray is a phenomenal therapist! I always feel better after talking to him, no matter what we talked about or how my mood was before. He is an amazing listener and has a great sense of knowing just how much to listen and how much to engage.

Speaking to Ray every week has become like speaking to a friend in a lot of ways, but a friend who has great advice and who looks out for me. I am really lonely in life and often don't have anyone to talk to about anything I am facing, and knowing that I can speak to Ray once a week really provides support and a point in the week where I can talk openly and honestly without fear of judgement. I'm grateful for Ray's relaxed and upbeat style where we can talk about anything from the weather or deep problems I'm facing. That means I don't find approaching sessions stressful, if I'm not in the mood for talking about deep emotional issues, we have a light hearted chat and that is great for my wellbeing.

He is very kind, understanding, and so easy to talk to!

After a couple unsuccessful matches with counsellors on here, I found Ray and I’m glad I had the opportunity to talk to him. He’s by far the best counsellor I’ve talked to. Really made me feel at ease despite everything I’m dealing with. Was very nice and compassionate in his approach. Really felt like talking to a friend I had known for years. He had the ability to break down the issue to a more sensible measure. I feel like things are more manageable now thanks to him.

Ray is very kind. Great at listening and providing helpful advice for moving forward in dealing with social anxiety and relational issues. I recommend speaking to him!

The time I spent working with Ray Butts was tremendous and I am in a better place now because of it.

Ray demonstrates sincere concern and is flexible in his approach and therefore able to meet me where I am at. Supportive and easy to talk to.

Ray has been a tremendous help. He listens well, asks the right questions and has a great wealth of expertise to draw from. In setting out practical, helpful steps I can take, Ray is great at couching them in examples and observations from his own work and life experiences - just chatting with Ray about these stories has been a great pleasure each week, and the practical advice and observations behind them have worked wonders.

Ray Butts is a lovely counselor with a deep well of life experience. Would recommend to all that are interested at exploring their relationship with validation!

Ray is a great guy with a lot of life experience, he helped me a lot

teen counseling matched us with the perfect counsellor. He had a lot of experience working with military families and was able to relate to our situation

Great job

LOVE Dr.Ray. He’s really the best counselor I’ve had so far

Ray is helping us in a couple ways with communication and problem solving. He is fair, personable and makes therapy feel good. We enjoy our sessions with him and feel he is knowledgeable and has a good attitude about our problems. He puts things into perspective. We recommend him to couples who are having communication problems or feel they cam not understand each other. Thanks Ray!

After having one session with Ray I think that he is a good match for me and my problems I am facing. I really understood the examples he used and I feel as though he already understands me. I look forward to more therapy sessions with him!

Ray was very patient and a fantastic listener; He gives very good advice and has many interesting stories. He is easy to open up to and good at calming down someone who is overwhelmed. A very good person to talk to if you are new at counselling or have struggled to form that level of trust with counsellors before!

Ray Butts is a wonderful man and he has helped me tremendously to work through and figure out what my issues are and set me on a path to peace of mind. He is a great listener and his compassion and empathy is very comforting and makes it so much easier to be open with him. Thank you for all your help.

Very enthusiastic and relatable person he actually cares about his clients and is very supportive he does more than listen he contributes

Ray is a great councillor. I enjoy and appreciate how well he listens, asks questions beyond the surface level and gives advice. He always has my best interest in mind and challenges me to think beyond how I am feeling at the moment. I look forward to our sessions and I would recommend teen counseling to anyone looking for a councillor.

My first time having to talk to a therapist and Mr.Ray is amazing!!

Ray is a genius! I struggled for a while to find a counselor that I felt understood me. It was on my third attempt that I found Ray. From the initial conversation I could tell he had deep expertise and experience. Ray listens and provides me with practical solutions and not the five steps as regurgitated from the latest version of ‘Mental Health Today’. His personality simply brightens my day. I highly recommend him!

Ray is amazing. The tools he gave us put us back on track with our marriage. Hes super relatable and easy to talk to. Thank you for all you did.

Ray has been such a massive help to me since we started our sessions together. His lighthearted conversational style relaxes you and takes the pressure of any preconceptions about what counselling is or should be. I gain so much from each session and feel completely safe and supported in Ray’s company.
He truly is a beam of light that radiates positivity that is infectious and inspiring. I am so glad he is my counsellor and feel honoured to know him. Thank you Ray.

My time with him was very short but very effective which I didn’t think was possible. He helped me tremendously to move on forward with my life, he said things exactly what is needed for me and what has changed my life completely. I was so glad to have met him from my first therapy experience, made me feel very comfortable in opening up which I struggled alot with. Anyone would be lucky to have counseling with him.

Ray takes an unconventional approach to counselling by focusing on the relationship he has with you. For me, it’s perfect. He listens, he shares, and he offers. It’s more akin to speaking to a wise father or grandfather figure than it is the clinical style of therapist that many are useful.

Ray is warm, positive and almost like your personal cheerleader. He comes with a wealth of professional and personal life experience. I highly recommend him

Ray is very helpful and has a lot of knowledge on a lot of human aspects. Very personable and passionate about helping people. I thoroughly enjoyed our talk.

I have so enjoyed working with Ray. He is warm and thoughtful as well as reliable and responsive. He also has so much life experience and wisdom that he insightfully shares with grace and humor. Ray has been a great help to my life. Thank you, Ray!

Ray has worked with my husband and I for the last 7 months. He has provided support and encouragement in times of need.

He has now started chatting with our children and really appreciate his involvement. I have already seen change after my daughter's 2 sessions.

He has been a great addition to our family support system. Mush needed and appreciated.

Ray has been and still is a great help to myself and my wife. He listens to both side and get both of us on the right path to communicating the right way. I would recommend him to anybody that needs help.

Ray is great, I highly recommend him.

Ray is clear on his purpose as a counselor by the time, commitment towards us, advice that has been proven to work (clearly).. Ray is great for relationship counseling and more!

Ray is absolutely fantastic to talk to and has stories for every situation that are incredibly easy to relate to. I always leave the conversation in a better mood than when I started.

I went into a therapy session on a whim after a very abuse relationship which then led to me divulging into serious alcohol abuse. Ray helped me tremendously using tactics such as telling stories where he could relate, while being comforting and open. Since then I have had an epiphany to quit drinking and will now be on naltrexone. I’ve made connections with other addicted seeking help and have made better choices for my overall well-being. Thank you, Ray!

Mr Butts is an absolute legend. By the end of the month I was feeling so much more confident, and motivated, and less stressed. He's a great dude who delivers results with a friendly service.

Rayy Butts has shoen a positive attitude and motivates on everything will be okay.
Trauma affects us in many ways and his reassuring of ream work and continued support is helping us with our marriage.
He is understanding and a great listener to what we need to say during sessions and according to what we say that is what he helps us with. Thank you for helping us better understanding our selves and spouse.

He's a genuine man who listens first and it isn't hard talking to him.

Mr. Butts has been extremely caring about my situation, and does not hound me to journal. He makes kind remarks at looking forward with my situation and waits for me to reach out to him. I would recommend Mr. Butts as a thorough Counselor and someone who has given me a genuine psychological experience to help me work on how to control and work on my emotions.

Nice guy. Listens. Great advice. Relatable.

Ray Butts really listens to what you have to say and provides experiences that you can really relate too. I can't tell you how helpful this has been for me and I really appreciate him taking the time, even when I haven't messaged him he reaches out to check in and it means a lot.

Mr Butts has been an amazing support to me and I am so thankful that I was matched with him for counseling! Thank you!!

As a young man who has been trying to do things the "strong man" way, I was reluctant to even consider help.

Then my father began to wither in front of me, and I knew I was in trouble. There are some things that no one should attempt to do on their own. Ray, I hope you understand that you reaching out to me is something I can't thank you enough for.

Everytime I talk to Ray I feel better and look forward to our next session. He is very friendly upbeat.

I enjoy the use of stories to suggest strategies. I have work on reservations or around reservations most of my life and story tellers are revered teachers.

Ray is practical and very non biased. He looks very well into both sides and asks the perfect questions to get out what needs to be put out there. He's wonderful!

I have only had two full sessions with Ray but in those two sessions things are already starting to look up. He listens to me understands what I'm going through. Checks in and is there to listen.

I’ve only had a few sessions with Ray so far, but he has been the best therapist I have ever had the opportunity to talk with. He’s been helping me understand my thoughts, and actually understand why I think the way I do. Definitely like a breath of fresh air when I talk with him, and although sometimes I feel mentally drained after a session, it’s always been a better outlook and day when I finish my sessions.
