About Me – Nelicia Butler, MA, LCPC, CCTP-II

Founder of Profound Roots Therapy Services

Hi, I’m Nelicia, a licensed clinical professional counselor, trauma specialist, and creative at heart. I founded Profound Roots Therapy Services to offer a healing space where Black women feel seen, heard, and supported in a way that’s culturally grounded, spiritually aware, and genuinely compassionate.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health and social services field, my work is rooted in helping people reconnect to themselves, not just manage symptoms, but actually understand what it means to heal. I specialize in working with Black millennial women navigating anxiety, stress, identity exploration, and trauma. My approach is relational, creative, and holistic, blending evidence-based therapy with art, crafting, and spirituality when helpful.

I’m also passionate about supporting other Black therapists through clinical supervision, consultation, and a free monthly virtual community group for Black clinicians.

Outside the therapy room, I channel my love of creativity into retreats, workshops, and crafting experiences that promote joy and emotional wellness for individuals and organizations.

I truly believe healing happens when we’re allowed to be our full selves: messy, magical, and in process. I’m honored to walk alongside those ready to do the deep work of becoming whole.
