About Mariposa Counseling

Mariposa Counseling was founded in 2022 by Alaina Smith. Mariposa is the Spanish word for butterfly, and it was chosen to symbolize the transformation that butterflies represent. Humans go through our own transformative journeys, and while not as obvious as a caterpillar to butterfly, it has potential to be just as impressive and wondrous. We believe every individual is worthy of dignity and respect and treat them as such. Our office is a safe, judgment free zone where you can truly explore the issues you face in intimate relationships and learn to resolve them. Recovery happens in community, and here you can find safe compassionate interactions in group and/or individual therapy to help resolve past trauma and discover your unique path to healing and wellness. Meet the team and learn more about us.
