Dr. Kimberly Butler
Blue Line Wellness is located in Monroe County, New York. I have worked with, and alongside, law enforcement for years and am so grateful to have been allowed to share space in your world. Those incidents you try to forget about…scenes you wish you could mentally erase…and calls you cannot stop seeing in your mind can weigh you down. Carrying all that around every day would get heavy for anyone. In order to keep climbing towards a healthy retirement, it is necessary to find a way to lessen that mental load. Don’t let this job bring you down.
I have been a clinician for 25 years, with experience in the psychiatric emergency department, walk-in crisis service, outpatient clinic, the VA, the jail, the County Office of Mental Health, and now with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and Fairport Police.
I have been a NYS Department of Criminal Justice Service certified instructor at the police academy since 2015, teaching the recruit level, supervisor school, and Crisis Intervention Team training. I have been a member of Rochester Threat Advisory Committee (ROCTAC) since its formation, with experience in conducting threat assessments as well as teaching on the area of threat assessment. In 2021 I had the privilege of joining Fairport Police Department as their first embedded clinician as well as the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office to develop their Health & Wellness program.
With the events in our nation and community over the past few years, I made the conscious decision to shift my focus from outward facing (in the community) to law enforcement themselves. Law enforcement all respond to, engage with, and see abnormal, tragic, and critical scenes and incidents every day, yet we expect them to keep up that pace for 20+ years. I am committed to you, committed to working together to process what you have seen and find ways to move forward despite it. You can only do what you can do and that is show up (whether that is for work, your friends, or your family.) How you show up is up to you.
I got your six. You are worth it.

FAQs
I see law enforcement officers on a contractual basis with their departments.
This depends. Annual wellness visits are designed to be between 45-60 minutes. When follow up visits are requested by the officer, those visits can vary in length depending on need.
Departments contract with Blue Line Wellness to cover the cost of the visits where there is no out of pocket cost for the officers.
Departments who are mandating annual visits utilize a form for me to sign verifying the date of the visit. The only information relayed is that the officer attended. For follow-up visits, requested by the officer, the department is billed for the visit but not given the name, date, or any details of the visit.
The cost varies based on location/ travel and number of hours or days.
