ABOUT ME

Mariposa Counseling Services is an organization created by me, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Danielle Sheppard. Through this therapeutic practice, I offer support and resources for individual adults, children, and families as they navigate through life’s most complex and difficult matters. 

​

I have worked with children and their families in a professional capacity since 2016 and have learned a lot from them and about how best to be a part of their support system.I believe adamantly in working with families to recognize the whole picture of what's impacting their lives.  As a therapist, I've learned that folks are going through a lot in their personal lives, while outside systemic forces put pressure on their families and emotional well-being.

Through Mariposa Counseling I provide specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with challenging life experiences. Namely, my approach includes validating personal hardships and working to find ways to mitigate the anxiety, depression, or familial conflict these hardships cause. This often includes working on communication styles, addressing anxiety by listening to it, and developing concrete & solution focused strategies to empower individuals and their families.  I also have vast experience in helping parents find ways to best address the symptoms of ADHD as they present in their children's behavior.
