Mariposa was founded in 2007 by Jenne Nesbitt-Decker, M.Ed., LBA, BCBA to meet the need for additional quality providers of Applied Behavior Analysis services in the Middle Tennessee area. MBHS was contacted in 2008 and directly invited to serve as an ABA provider to Ft. Campbell military families. MBHS accepted that invitation and transitioned all operations to Clarksville, TN. While our ethics codes prohibit us from sharing testimonials directly, please feel free to search our name in the local special needs Facebook Groups to see recommendations from parents and other community members. Mariposa is proud of our reputation within the greater Clarksville community.

At MBHS, we continue to grow and adapt to newer, better scientific methods for delivering ABA interventions. At the same time, we have continued to maintain and reaffirm our commitment to practicing with the highest ethical standards, above industry standard service delivery by utilizing only highly-qualified Master’s level clinicians, and with committed focus on the happiness and respect of those we serve.
