Greetings from Frank Smith, MFT. Let me offer a truism: whether positive or negative, most behavior is learned. Behavior often results in patterns. Those patterns can be positive and life affirming. But they can also be maladaptive and impact our self-esteem, happiness and relationships. You may be wondering...why can't I break these destructive patterns? I can help you unravel where they came from. Such awareness is the first step toward better emotional health. Let me be your psychological navigator to help you let go of the past and have a better and more fulfilling life.

When words aren't enough. Whether the client is a child, a teen, an adult or a family, I find offering non-verbal therapies, expressive therapies such as art therapy and Sandplay often enhances my client's ability to solve problems, enable expression of feelings, and communicate with self and others. I have been a registered art therapist for many years and in the last twenty I have expanded that base by becoming a Certified Teaching member of the Sandplay Therapists of America.

I have been a licensed social worker since July 2017, but I have been helping New Mexico military families, Veterans, aging population and the homeless for over 12 years. As a military veteran, I understand the struggles with adapting to civilian life, and have experience working with substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and coping with stress. I love working with tweens and teens and I have experience with couples and family therapy.

We believe at some point everyone comes across situations that need an outside perspective—these crossroads can determine the direction we go. Everyone has that underlying intuition & if listened to, will guide them to the path they are striving towards. We work w/ all ages, most issues, situations. We specialize in many areas-as we have several therapists-some of which are: postpartum/perinatal mood disorders, depression, anxiety, couples, gender/sexuality, self-esteem, meditation, work, art therapy, men’s issues, etc. We want the best for you & everyone should have the best therapy experience!

I believe no one lives in a vacuum. That's why I'll be asking about you and your relationships with family and friends. Your children don't live in a vacuum, either. In working with them, you'll be included in parts or all of their sessions. My practice is called the Rio Rancho Family Counseling Center. When you're seeing me alone or as a couple, you determine when and what problems to talk about and how fast and how deep we go. I draw on several methods of therapy because my practice is patient oriented and patient directed.

NOW OFFERING TELEHEALTH SESSIONS!! Hello and let me commend you for taking that first step towards finding a therapist and beginning therapy services. I know finding a therapist is a very difficult decision. You want to find someone whom you will not only be able to work with, but you want to find someone who has the similar values and ideals. At New Mexico Counseling Center, you will be treated like the unique individual you are. You will be treated with the upmost respect, a non-judgemental environment and the ability to come and process your emotions in a quiet, comfortable environment.

Are you looking for relief from suffering? This may hold different meanings to different people. For some, it means addressing past traumas to improve current living. For others, it may mean transforming anxiety and depression into manageable states of being, or working through specific parenting challenges that cause concern. For children and adolescents, relief of suffering may come in the form of receiving support and coping skills to deal with life's changes such as divorce, school related stress, or a serious trauma or mental health issue.

If you are struggling with issues from your past or feel stuck in the present, I’m here to help. Everyone has seasons of challenge. Having a guide who will take the time to listen, to understand you without judging you; someone who can help you identify patterns, resolve conflicts, heal from trauma, and take action toward a new way of being is life changing.

Whatever’s bothering you, even if it’s thoughts of suicide, you don’t have to face life’s overwhelming difficulties alone. Family and friends mean well, but because their backgrounds are often similar to your own, they may not have the ability to offer new perspectives, without judgment.
