YOUR PSYCHOLOGIST, ZEESHAN BUTT, PHD 
Zeeshan Butt (he/him), PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist with specialty training in health psychology, bringing over 20 years of experience helping adults through complex medical, surgical, and general life transitions, including stress, anxiety, and other adjustment issues.
Zee’s focus is to meet you where you are with practical, evidence-based strategies that deliver real results. As a second-generation South Asian immigrant, he’s also gained unique insights into navigating cultural identities, family expectations, and life's transitions — perspectives that help him connect deeply with diverse clients from all walks of life.
Zee specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and integrative techniques proven to build resilience and clarity. Whether you're managing work pressures, relationship dynamics, or personal growth, Zee will work with you to identify your goals and help address any obstacles getting in your way.
“I believe in compassionate listening and collaborative goal-setting, combining evidence-based strategies with a genuine respect for each patient’s story.”
— Zeeshan Butt, PhD || Founder of Motia Health Consulting
At the end of the day, effective psychotherapy is focused on how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors sometimes support (and other times, get in the way of) our goals.
A big part of Zee's job is to understand your goals and motivations in the context of your values and lived experience. He aims to do this with empathy, respect, dedication, and expertise.
Over 20 years of experience.

Common questions about therapy
FAQSTherapy is a very personal experience — you don’t need
to have everything figured out before reaching out.
-
I work with adults and couples who are navigating health-related challenges, stress, anxiety, adjustment concerns, work pressures, relationship dynamics, and other major life transitions.

Yes. Motia Health Consulting welcomes LGBTQIA+ patients and is committed to providing an affirming, respectful, and nonjudgmental space.
Your identities, relationships, and lived experiences are understood as important parts of who you are, not problems to be explained or changed. Therapy is tailored to you, with care grounded in curiosity, respect, and your individual goals.
-
Yes. I offer a brief, no-charge consultation so that you can ask questions, describe what you are looking for, and determine whether my practice may be a good fit.
A consultation is not a therapy session, diagnosis, or emergency service.

Insurance arrangements can vary by plan and may change over time. Please contact the practice for current information about insurance participation, self-pay fees, and whether out-of-network documentation may be available.
I am an out-of-network provider for other plans and do not bill insurance directly. Upon request, I can provide a detailed receipt, often called a superbill, that you may submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.
You already have the potential to change what happens next.
A no-charge, brief consultation is a chance to ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit.
