Further a life of peace, happiness, and fun

The biggest takeaway from my time in therapy was “You are the captain of your own ship”. The countless pieces of advice have helped guide me to a more comfortable and peaceful life. You’ve helped me understand that life is full of situations, not problems. So many questions and so few answers. It’s been great to finally find someone to converse with about my deepest thoughts and embarrassments. What I learned during our sessions would be put into practice to further a life of peace, happiness, and fun. You’re truly a big part of my growth. Thank you for everything.

I am one of those people who never thought I would need to seek help

I am one of those people who never thought I would need to seek professional help for my problems. A few months ago however, a crisis came up in my marriage and I knew I couldn’t handle or process things without some guidance. I feel quite lucky to have found Dr. Boutelle who has been there to listen well and then provide that guidance. He has a great gift for getting to the heart of things quickly. In his serene office, I have come to realize a great deal, work through a lot, and become a better critical thinker. It has only been a few months but I feel stronger and more enlightened and now have the tools to better handle what comes my way. I am so very grateful to Dr. Boutelle.

Dr. Boutelle is an excellent mental health professional.

Dr. Boutelle is an excellent mental health professional. I trust him to listen to my issues and critically think about the source of these problems. He offers helpful insight, perspective, and guidance on how to live a life of contentment. My initial concern in choosing Dr. Boutelle was if he could relate to me, but after seeing him once I realize my concern was the same as if an ER doctor could relate to a broken arm. There is no doubt he is capable of helping me with any issue. Everyone in my life has noticed positive changes in my behavior including myself,  I have healthy tools for dealing with uncomfortable situations.

Dr. Boutelle really sees me and lends his voice and expert opinion.

Do you know that wondrous feeling that comes sometimes when you notice someone is really seeing you?  That’s what I see in Dr. Ronald Boutelle.  Beyond lending his voice and expert opinion to address the challenges Black females face around hair texture, skin color, and beauty politics in the documentary Dark Girls, Dr. Boutelle can and has also seen me during a pandemic and a wave of cumulative violences that assault my senses as a black female and professional.  He compels me to remember that I have (a) soul, which, blessedly, makes me eternal, indestructible, and incessantly worthy of love, joy, and fun.  His capacity to do so weekly is nothing short of a feat, one fostered by his extraordinary capacity for grace, humor, and a commitment to seeing others - even if (now) on a screen.

The First Session

Getting Started

Telepsychology

COVID19 has profoundly impacted all aspects of our daily lives in tremendous ways.  And, while the threat of COVID-19 is ongoing throughout the United States we have learned to live with it.  Face-to-face therapy is always preferred.  However, Dr. Boutelle will see patients using telehealth (typically via ZOOM). From the comfort of your home, you now have the assurance that your session will be safe, secure and confidential. 

What to expect during the first session

During the first session Dr. Boutelle will listen to the issues that you are struggling with in your life. He will explore how long you have been experiencing these difficulties, their severity and the circumstances/interactions with others that they occur. Finally, he will share his impressions with you as to the possible origin of these difficulties and how his therapeutic philosophy and approach may be beneficial to alleviating you of these difficulties.

Office hours are daily Monday through Friday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Treatment

Psychotherapy treatment is usually provided in 50-minute sessions on a weekly basis. It can last from a few months to several years, depending upon the severity and history of the patient’s presenting problem, the chemistry between the patient and the psychologist and the patient’s financial circumstances.

Payment

Many insurance plans are accepted. For patients who have insurance plans which Dr. Boutelle is not a provider, payment is due at the end of each session. Patients may pay for their services by ZELLE or check. As a courtesy he will provide an invoice for services rendered which may be submitted directly to their insurance carrier for reimbursement.

A free half-hour consultation is offered to new patients.
