Dr. William Butler

My name is Dr. William Butler, and I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist. I have advanced training from Massachusetts General Hospital, McLean Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. I work with adult patients experiencing depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, personality patterns, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. My approach is grounded in evidence-based medication treatment and skills-focused, intensive psychotherapy, tailored to each patient’s needs and goals.

I am in-network with Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim, and UnitedHealthcare Student.

I help students and young adults facing a broad range of concerns, including mood, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges who seek evidence-based treatment and a psychiatrist who thinks with them. I offer psychotherapy, medication management, and practical planning for work, school, and relationships.

Starting treatment is a meaningful step, especially if previous approaches haven’t been helpful. My role is to offer clear, thoughtful care and working together to craft a treatment plan. I'd be happy to connect to answer any questions about my approach and to see if working together could be a good fit.
