About me
I am a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with over 30 thirty years experience in professional counseling both in child/youth and couples/relationship counseling. For the last 10 years I have been a military and family life counselor (MFLC) . Over 90% of the issues I have dealt with during my tenure in this position have been relationship/marriage related issues. The challenges facing a military couple or family are immense and sometimes neither partner is completely ready for them, and the challenges they bring. Whether is the deployments, the moving, the housing shortage, the environment, being a military family is not easy to say the least and the need to just talk is immense and so that is what I do. I have learned as much from them as they have from me. So, I bring to the table, experience, a counseling style in CCT or client centered therapy, and a willingness to go that extra mile with you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Raymond Butts. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Raymond is exceptionally knowledgeable. He’s very warm and inviting and easy to talk to.
Raymond does a great job
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 ….
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.
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 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.
He is very patient, great at summarizing and interpreting what my husband and I say, and gives supporting examples to help us different perspectives.
Dr Butts is very personable.
While I've spoken with a few different therapists (inside and outside of Regain), 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.
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!
10 out of 10
Ray is awesome. Easy to talk to.
I mainly joined to try to connect with my sons.
It hasn’t happened. Disappointed
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
Regain 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
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!
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 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 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!
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.
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!
