About Us

My Story
WeThrive was born from a lifelong dream and a journey marked by resilience, growth, and transformation. In 1982, I entered graduate school with the vision of someday opening my own private practice. However, life led me along many different paths before I finally stepped into private practice in 2015.
In February 2017, I experienced the profound loss of my spouse, becoming an unexpected widow—far earlier in life than I ever anticipated. Just six months later, I opened WeThrive Counseling Center. The timing was not planned, but the name and mission were deeply intentional. WeThrive reflects the belief that we are all in a constant state of growth—clients and therapists alike—thriving in different ways and at different times throughout our lives.
Our Team
Mari Butterfield, LCSW
Therapist & Owner
In addition to couple’s work, I integrate parts work into my sessions — a gentle, affirming, and insightful approach that helps clients explore the many parts of themselves with compassion and understanding. This method often leads to powerful self-awareness and lasting growth.
Throughout our lives, we all encounter times when we need support. My goal is to help you navigate these moments with openness, honesty, and clarity. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with my direct, compassionate style — I believe life is too short for anything less than honest, meaningful work.

Alena Hallum, LPC
THERAPIST
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a relational, systems-based approach to therapy. I believe that each person is shaped by the larger systems around them- family, culture, community- and that healing often begins with understanding how we relate to these forces. I work with individuals, couples, and families and all ages, creating a compassionate space where clients can feel safe, supported, and empowered.
My style is grounded in evidence-based practices and genuine connection. I place deep emphasis on the healing power of relationship- both within and beyond the counseling space. I am informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS)- and I integrate parts work when helpful, among other integrative approaches to fit each client’s individual needs.
If connection is at the core of the human experience, then building a meaningful therapeutic relationship becomes the foundation for lasting change. My clients often notice this early on in our work together.
If you’re unsure about starting therapy, I welcome your questions. I’m happy to help you explore whether I’m the right fit- or guide you toward someone who is.
