The use of technology in day-to-day life is designed to help us feel more connected. But what if you find yourself feeling the exact opposite? Instead of connected you feel burnt out. Maybe you feel a lack of authenticity in your personal or work relationships. Maybe you feel distance in your own marriage. While many parts of technology are designed and advertised to keep us feeling connected, often it can hurt us as well. You may catch yourself doom scrolling or playing a comparison game, and maybe you are starting to notice an impact on your overall mental health.

Trauma Focused Therapy
What IS trauma? From a psychological standpoint trauma is defined as a lasting emotional response to a distressing event. Each person has their own capacity and tools to deal with life’s hardships. No one person’s journey looks the same because of the subjective nature of trauma. You might have a hard time identifying your own trauma, and how it affects your life and current relationships. We work diligently to create a safe environment where you will learn to understand and address any past traumas and learn new tools to navigate future traumatic events.
How can individual therapy work for you?
Every person comes with their own unique past and at Mariposa Counseling we are committed to providing a safe space to explore your experiences and discover how they affect you today. Through individual therapy you will be guided in developing new skills and coping strategies based on your own individual needs. Life can feel tremendously overwhelming at times, but you do not have to tackle things alone! At Mariposa we see each client as a complete and whole person on their own transformative journey. While individual therapy is for a single person, the work done in therapy is proven to greatly improve your personal relationships such as that with your spouse, child(ren), coworkers, or the strangers you encounter in the world.
You have all the tools you need to vastly improve your life and your relationships. At Mariposa Counseling we are committed to providing a safe space to explore your lived experiences. We provide you with the necessary education and guidance to learn how to navigate life with higher emotional intelligence. Giving you the tools to be the best you that you want to be is why we do what we do, and we are excited that you are looking to us to help you.
