About Richard Butler:

After having spent several years working in Healthcare Security, to include management and administrative roles, I now wish to transition into a career in providing mental health services for the community. Having obtained certification in Crisis Intervention (and put those skills to use on a daily basis while working in hospitals), I have a passion for helping others on the worst of days.

I plan to return to pursue an Addictions Certification in the fall of 2025 with the coursework counting towards licensure requirements for LADAC I as well as towards a Bachelors in Psychology, with an eye for eventually providing treatment to first responders, healthcare workers, and veterans.

In the meantime, I am seeking employment in a Behavioral Health environment, both to further my knowledge of the field as well as to satisfy my desire to serve. While without clinical certifications and licensure at this early juncture of this career path, I bring extensive experience in administrative and healthcare settings which may lend themselves to success within ancillary support roles.
