Shay-Butts

Shay Butts – Vice President of Growth and Client Experience

Since the early 2000s, Shay Butts has been a part of modernizing the mental healthcare industry. She has worked with programs and families in various roles to create excellence in young adult and adolescent residential mental health and addiction treatment. Shay has an extensive background in program leadership, program development, admissions, and therapeutic consulting. Her passion is to create fresh and innovative programming and strategies that offer families not only a baseline standard of care but a level of care that surpasses expectations and provides cutting-edge, world-class services. Shay believes that every family deserves hope and a comprehensive plan to move forward into collective wellness.

After winding down a successful therapeutic consulting practice, Shay began to consult with a variety of programs and found a common bond with Dr. James Flowers. Their vision for world-class care was very much aligned, and the ability to recognize the need for an alternative to the treatment currently available sparked many conversations about “what’s next?” Ultimately, Shay joined Dr. Flowers and the J. Flowers Health Institute as the Vice President of Growth and Client Experience. Shay works directly with the clinical team, families, and referral sources to ensure high-quality care and identify growth areas. Shay also serves as the liaison for Therapeutic & Educational Consultants and their clients.
