Client Testimonials

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. R.T.

My sessions with Dr. Boutelle for the past month and some weeks have been reinvigorating, refreshing, purging, helpful and self-renewing.  So much has gone into these sessions and I feel like we are just getting started. My whole life I have been led astray into thinking things from my family and friends and false constructs that had me thinking I was not enough and that I was a slave to what others felt or thought about me. But Dr. Boutelle helped me to see otherwise. He taught me that I am not my thoughts. He taught me that I am enough despite the status quo of what I may think at times. He taught me not to believe my thoughts regardless of how much it is been ingrained in my mind. I am thankful. My sessions with him have had me looking forward to weekly sessions and being more intentional about seeking mental assistance from a professional who has wisdom and knowledge and listens to his clients. This man is phenomenal. Thank you, Dr. Boutelle. May God bless you always sir! C.O.

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.

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.

He is honest and truthful, even if you don’t want to hear it. He offers a smile or a laugh that makes you feel human again and endless support on the guide back to life.

Dr. Boutelle is a very patient supportive therapist who has allowed me to face life’s challenges, big or small, at my own pace. Right from my earliest sessions he has consistently provided a very comfortable and safe environment. He is always careful to consider that I was raised in a vastly different culture, which I greatly appreciate. To anyone seeking a caring therapist, I would recommend Dr. Boutelle without hesitation.

Dr. Boutelle tells it like it is and has helped me come to the truth about my issues. I wish I had met him sooner because I could have avoided or have gotten he tools to be emotionally stronger. I would have already gotten emotional muscle to deal with things better.

A few years ago, I discovered Dr Boutelle from his website, called him, came in to his office for an intro meeting, and my life has changed positively in countless ways ever since. He is a great doctor and always treats you like a person instead of just a patient. I currently live in NY and am still having sessions with him over the phone. He is the best therapist I have ever had.

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.

I came to see Dr. Boutelle with issues concerning my teenage son. Doctor B. helped me understand my choices, set up a plan and move through tough times. Dr. Boutelle is well grounded and, when my mind races, he brings back the basics reminding me what's important. Doctor's favorite questions to me are 'Do you love yourself J? Do you treat yourself and teach others to treat you with respect and dignity?' And it makes me think each time. JM, mother of 2

Dr. Boutelle has made a huge positive difference in my life - plain and simple. He got right the root of my issues and helped guide me into a peaceful, "live in the moment" place that has resulted in significant reduction of stress & anxiety, and increased clarity & focus. Furthermore, he comes loaded with amazing practical day-to-day advice on a wide range of subjects: work, relationships, time management, helpful books to read, enjoying the day, and many others. I would recommend him to anyone who seeks to feel better about their station in life, reduce stress, and fully appreciate the wonderful experience of being alive.

I am a patient of Dr. Boutelle. His direct approach to therapy works well for me. His methods are based on sound philosophical principles and he communicates those principles very clearly. He is an astute listener and an active participant in my improving mental health. I recommend his services with no reservations. K.P.
