GREEN  STONE THERAPIES

Philip Buttenfield

Holistic Care for Body, Mind, Heart and  Spirit

Welcome to Green Stone Therapies.  My name is  Philip

Buttenfield.  I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW).  

I have been in practice since obtaining my Masters degree

(MSW) from the University of Pittsburgh in 1979.  I also

have a JD from the University of Pittsburgh, and practiced

trial law in Pennsylvania for several years before devoting

my complete attention to therapy.

I am trained and experienced in the following treatment

forms:  

· Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT);  

· Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT);

· Treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder with EMDR;

· Mindfulness training for reduction of stress, anxiety and prevention of relapse in depression;

· Hypnotherapy;

· Cardiac Coherence; and

· the Usui System of Reiki Healing.

If I had to use only one word to describe my approach to therapy, it would be:  

Empowerment.  

My goal as a therapist is that my clients realize their own power, that they come to recognize that they are not just victims of their situations, and that they see that they, and they alone, have the ability to make the changes necessary to make their lives work.

My job is to assist them in identifying what changes are likely to be most successful, and to work with them in partnership to find and then use the best tools to make those changes in the most skillful manner possible, through the client’s own cognitive and/or behavioral efforts.

My office is located in Point Breeze in Pittsburgh’s East End (click here for a GoogleMap of the location).  I have flexible office hours, and see clients between the hours of 9:00 am and 8:00 pm on weekdays.  I accept Highmark and UPMC commercial insurances.
