Marlena Butler, Ph.D.

Congratulations! If you made it this far, it is not by mistake.  You are here because of what is right with you. Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss. It’s not a pathological condition or a personality disorder. I provide Grief Recovery Support Group programs (both group and one-on-one formats) as well as the When Children Grieve and Pet Loss programs.  Each program provides a safe place, a safe person and specific tools to help grievers recover from loss.  It is never too soon to address your grief, and you do not have to do it alone.  I am here for you when you are ready.  If you would like to work 1-on-1 in either Murfreesboro or Nashville, please schedule a consultation call.  If your school, church, business or agency would like to offer The Grief Recovery Method® programs to your staff/members/students/clients and community at large, please contact me for details and scheduling.  About meI love working with grievers.  I walk alongside individuals working through anxious thoughts, anger, grief, shame, spiritual struggles, relationship concerns and trauma.  My professional credentials are as follows: Level 1 Murray Method Trauma FacilitatorCertified Grief Recovery Specialist®Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Christian CounselingAdvanced Certified in Temperament TherapyAdvanced Certified in Crisis & Abuse TherapyAdvanced Certified in Death & Grief TherapyLicensed Clinical Christian Therapist (FACCT)Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor-Advanced Certified (NCCA)Licensed Clinical Christian Counselor (NCCA)Certified Temperament Counselor
