Work With Me

I take on a small number of clients at a time. That's intentional. The work I do requires presence, depth, and genuine partnership — and I give all of it.

If you're navigating something complex (macro or micro level) and you think we might be the right fit, I'd love to hear about it.

Let's talk.

You want to call me if:

You're building AI that will interact with humans — and you need a clinician in the room
You need a transformative workshop or training
You just came through a crisis, and the human part still isn't resolved
An organizational system broke, and you need to understand what happened
You're about to make a major change, and you can't afford to lose your best people
You want to reduce your risk and increase your positive outcomes

“My work finds the strength that's already there and builds systems around it.

The people who hire me don't just get through hard moments…

They come out of them more whole.”

Meagan Butler

studies the intersection of

mental health + wellness,

technology,

creative arts,

systems design,

and human resilience.

"I can calm a panic attack and train the AI agents that are trying to do the same thing.

I can teach a room of leaders to stay in their prefrontal cortex when everything is on fire…

And trace the anxiety back to where the system broke."

I’m a licensed psychotherapist.

Professor Adjunct at the University of Texas at Austin.

Keynote speaker. Consultant.

PhD Candidate Researcher. I study how people heal together.

I’m a Mental Health Futurist.

Anyone can build a strategy. Few understand what happens to the humans inside it.

I supervised 200 counselors through the pandemic as Austin ISD Counseling leader, designed a community healing program and worked with survivors in the Uvalde Love Project, and led 100+ high stakes crisis incidents as a mental health provider.

I’ve logged over 20,000 hours of direct support work and then co-founded a tech company from scratch.

I know what it means to lead with compassion, creativity, and drive.

I am a creative problem solver.

I start meetings with two questions:

What’s going well? What do you need?

Then I listen. I have sat in enough different rooms with different kinds of people to recognize the patterns and know where to start.

Hi, I’m Meagan

I’ve pitched investors and superintendents, worked with counselors, engineers and interns, scaled a product, scaled an idea, and earned national recognition.

I’ve been in a lot of interesting, highly confidential rooms.
