If you are ready to take that step, which I would consider a HUGE victory, I would be honored to support you and walk that path with you! My name is Charlie Eliza Boutillette. I live in a very remote, rural and beautiful Valley in Southern Colorado which is known for large migratory bird populations, being the headwaters for the Rio Grande and the many 14,000 ft. mountains that surround it. I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1995 after receiving an MA and subsequent licensure. I have provided services across the lifespan, from pre-school children to geriatrics-aged adults living in a nursing homes and have had the opportunity to focus on individuals, families, couples, and groups. My early practice took root at a local Community Mental Health Center, which gave me experience and training in dealing with a range of issues from stress reduction and change/phase of life issues (moving, marriage, divorce), significant mental health issues such as schizophrenia and other thought disorders, as well as mood disorders such as major depression and anxiety. I have always loved this work and the opportunity to be a resource and ally for my patients as we, together, travel the path of change and growth. As I have developed my practice and honed my interventions, my therapeutic philosophy has naturally evolved. One part of my philosophy that remains constant is the belief that therapy is about safely exploring the potential freedom life has to offer while examining our perceptions, observations, assumptions, thoughts, emotions and underlying motivations in our daily lives. It is my goal to help you incorporate this same philosophy and move in the direction of your highest self and consummate wellness. To do this we will set goals for therapy with measurable objectives and will be in regular communication both about the goals themselves as well as the moment to moment practice and experience in reaching them. I use therapeutic opportunities to confront issues that arise in the session, use solution-focused techniques to practice in "real life," and often make homework assignments. I believe in an, "...act as if.." practice - creating opportunities for you to enact best possible outcomes or to create new stories about your life. As your therapist, I commit to always meeting you where you are, be with you fully as you drive the therapeutic process, and encourage you to have an open mind as we begin walking the path toward total wellness. I look forward to working with you!

Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities.

Biography: Hello, I am glad you found us here at Better Help. Thank you for taking the first step by reaching out. Let me tell you a bit about myself, and if I seem to be a good fit for you, we can begin as soon as you would like. My name is Josh Burke, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. I have been providing psychotherapy for a wide variety of issues and populations for over seven years. I graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College in 2013 with a Master in Social Work with a mental health concentration. For six years, I provided individual therapy to clients in the city of Rochester, NY, through their primary care offices. I have since moved out of the primary care office and are working as an Independent Therapist via telehealth and in-person consultations. I would describe my approach to be goal-oriented and client/person-centered. I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) & Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Both modalities are engaging, practical approaches to problem-solving many concerns as they relate to stressors. ACT is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. The goals are to learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent oneself from moving forward in their lives. This helps people begin to accept their issues and hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives, and how they feel about it. Difficult and unpleasant times are part of the human experience. I understand seeking help can be a vulnerable step to take. Exploring the healing process or enriching one's personal growth, first and foremost, requires establishing a trusting and emotionally supportive relationship. Change is not easy, but it is possible.

Biography: I am licensed in Colorado and Louisiana with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQIA2 related issues, family conflicts, ADHD issues, & career difficulties. Let me explain a little more about these areas of focus. I have training within systems and family conflicts due to my license of being an LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am skilled in recognizing patterns; most of my clients and families have told me this during our work together. I have experience working with people of the LGBTQIA2 community and helping individuals and families navigate their sexuality or gender identity. Another area in which I am passionate about is helping individuals who have been clinically diagnosed with ADHD move through a world in a more ADHD friendly manner. Let's work with your brain rather than against it. Lastly, in regards to career matters the way in which I often find myself helping clients is related to matters such as boundary setting and work life balance. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. As we spend more time together on your mental health journey you will notice that I value laughter and often this is found in my sessions. Have you heard of the statement you can give someone a fish and feed them for a day or you can teach them to fish and feed them for a lifetime? That viewpoint is a visual example of how in therapy the work is helping you, the person reading my bio, learn how to interact in a healthier and more sustainable way rather than providing you direct answers. With that being said, it takes courage and immense amount of bravery to seek out a more fulfilling and authentic life by taking the first steps towards a change. I am here to support, challenge, and empower you in that journey.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*
