Marriage Counseling & Life Transition Therapy for Women and Men

Navigating Change, Strengthening Relationships, & Finding Clarity

Life’s transitions and challenges can feel overwhelming—whether in your marriage, career, or personal identity. Whether you’re struggling in your relationship, facing separation, dealing with loss, or seeking a fresh start, I’m here to support you.

I’m Joan Marie Butler, MA, a licensed therapist and life and business coach with 28+ years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals and couples create healthy relationships, find clarity in transition, and move forward with confidence.

Marriage & Relationship Counseling

Are you and your partner struggling with communication, trust, or emotional distance? Every relationship faces challenges, but they don’t have to define your future.

I provide individual and couples therapy to help:

• Rebuild trust and communication for deeper connection.
• Navigate conflict with respect and understanding.
• Heal after infidelity or betrayal.
• Strengthen intimacy & emotional closeness.
• Gain clarity about staying together or parting ways.

If your relationship is at a crossroads, let’s work together to create a path forward—whether that means healing your marriage or navigating separation with dignity and strength.

Therapy & Coaching for Life Transitions

Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about what’s next? Change can be difficult, but with the right support, it can also be a powerful opportunity for growth.

I specialize in helping both women and men navigate:

• Separation or Divorce – Emotional healing, rebuilding identity, and finding independence.
• Loss of a Spouse – Honoring grief while rediscovering purpose.
• Career Change or Workforce Return – Overcoming self-doubt and gaining clarity on next steps.
• Empty Nesting – Adjusting to a new life phase and rediscovering personal fulfillment.
• Retirement – Crafting a meaningful, purpose-driven life post-career.
• Relocation – Managing emotional and practical challenges of a big move.
• Self-Employment – Making the transition from corporate to entrepreneurship with confidence.

If you’re experiencing overwhelm, uncertainty, or emotional exhaustion, I provide a compassionate space to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and renewed energy.

A Powerful Approach to Healing & Growth

Through my signature program, The Power of the Pivot, I help individuals and couples:

• Understand and process emotions—without judgment.
• Break free from limiting beliefs holding them back.
• Reconnect with their strengths, goals, and passions.
• Improve self-confidence and resilience to face change head-on.
• Build a clear vision for their future that excites and empowers them.

This is not just about surviving change—it’s about thriving in it.
