Self Esteem Therapists in Hodgin, Albuquerque, NM

I'm passionate about working with motivated individuals seeking to understand themselves and how they relate to others more. If you're struggling with being compassionate with yourself and finding joy in the things you once did, I might be the right therapist for you.

You are here, reading this, because of your courage. Recognizing it’s time to make changes is the first, most important step, and I commend you. Despite what social media would have us believe, no one’s life is perfect. We all face challenges that keep us from living our most authentic lives. Therapy is a sacred space where fears and pain are seen with compassion and without judgement. It is an opportunity to explore the thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back and to connect with your strengths in order to create your best life. To be your true self.

We enjoy working with people ages 3-60 years old who have a desire to make changes in their lives. We enjoy helping people heal and process their emotions. Tanya Baker is a New Mexico board-certified supervisor for Social Worker's and Counselors seeking supervision. Please inquire about rates. Limited availability for child clients.

** Anxiety, panic disorder, trauma, PTSD, Medical PTSD ** Anxiety is physically painful. Your heart races. Your muscles tense. Your palms sweat. You have an overwhelming sense of dread as your natural fight or flight response kicks in. Do you fight back? Do you retreat to your own space? Or do you freeze in uncertainty? If you are experiencing anxiety on a daily basis, it is probably having a negative impact on your your health. Your back and shoulders hurt. Your quality of sleep is poor. You are fatigued, but you make yourself busier to justify your exhaustion.

Are your reactions to stress and the people you love hard to manage? Do you relate to media postings and self-help books but don't know how to translate awareness into change? We all have “triggers” developed from experiences and develop adaptive modes of behavior that may not be effective or beneficial to our well being. Exaggerated reactions such as becoming numb, shut down or reactive, the need to fight, the experience of shame, the need for inaction or escape (avoidance), or the loss of our ability to communicate are typical responses to feeling triggered and can feel overwhelming and leave you feeling out of control.

Therapy and inner healing are difficult. It demands not only commitment, but the desire and willingness to persevere through inevitable discomfort in order to move towards growth. I commit myself to creating a secure, trustworthy, and judgment-free environment as the relationship we build together is essential to the healing process as well as positive client outcome. My training has led me to adopt and follow a primarily cognitive behavioral/biopsychosocial/holistic approach to treating mental disorders. However, I also apply methods from other important subfields of psychology.

We are currently not taking new clients.

I view clients from an 'already whole' perspective where clients can uncover their natural wisdom, inherent health and develop the skillful means to make conscious and positive life choices. I use mindfulness techniques and meditation to help create space and clarity. All people are seen as Basically Good, Kind, Strong and Wise.

Non-judgment and compassion are central to my professional belief system, as well as my personal one. I focus on creating a safe and trusting environment within the therapy room so if just for an hour, a client can take off their armor and feel truly seen and understood. While I am an eclectic therapist, I mostly utilize Art Therapy and a Person-Centered approach to counseling which focuses on empathy, exploring one's voice through creativity, and a recognition of each client’s ability for growth and self-actualization.

What we think, we become. The more you think and say to yourself one thing, the more you start believing it and then ultimately start acting on it. It can be challenging work, but there are ways we can make this idea work for ourselves. Trained in EMDR.

Accepting New Patients. Welcome to exploring new possibilities. Do you wake up worrying about the same things every day and wonder "Why do I feel that way?". Have you tried to make changes in your life, only to find you fall back into repeating old patterns? Do you isolate, feel shame, lonely, and disconnected from people, places and things that used to be pleasurable? Do you feel confused and have a hard time making decisions? Do you feel lost or physically and mentally exhausted?

Just by showing up and reading this, you are brave! Looking for help isn’t always easy, but if any of the following resonates with you, I believe I can help! Do you find yourself feeling stuck in negative repetitive patterns? Overwhelmed and confused? Experiencing anxiety and/or depression and wanting more out of life but not sure how to get there. I know life can feel like an uphill battle at times, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I can support you through the challenging and confusing parts of your journey and share in the celebration of your successes in personal growth along the way.

**Now offering medication management** Each of us is on a journey and there will be times where we feel lost, alone, overwhelmed or inadequate. We believe the key to moving past difficulties in your life involves developing greater awareness, understanding, and self-compassion in a safe and affirming space. We will explore what is holding you back, develop skills so you can change unhealthy patterns while gently challenging you to move towards health and wellbeing. We are all resilient and have the inherent ability to change and thrive. Each day offers an opportunity to learn from the past and fully immerse ourselves in the present.

My practice is grounded in the belief that we heal through attuned relationship. I hold the therapeutic alliance in high regard and value co-creating space for exploration with clients. Depending on what you bring to our sessions, attachment-based, existential, psychodynamic, or EMDR techniques may be incorporated.

Looking for the right behavioral health provider can be a multipart task but look no more; I am a bi-cultural, bilingual, dynamic, and interactive psychotherapist with over twenty five years of experience in outpatient, hospital and private practice settings providing individual and family therapy specializing in children, adolescents, and families and the relationship that keeps them together or sets them apart.

I help people recover from trauma. I know what it's like to wake up every day feeling disconnected and afraid. I know the depression, anxiety, and confusion that accompany surviving a traumatic experience. I know that it takes time to understand what you've been through; that it was real, it wasn't imagined, and that any damage done was not of your own making. I also know that healing is possible. It is possible for you to feel confident and safe in your own body. To trust yourself, and have faith in your choices. To know that you are not your past, you are already whole and complete, and YOU are the expert on your own life.

"Apologies, I am not currently accepting new clients.".Many times in life we develop behaviors and patterns as a means to cope because this is all we have at the moment. Although these methods may no longer serve you, change is difficult. This is where therapy can offer the opportunity to heal painful wounds of the past, while developing healthier coping skills for today. I believe we all have the power to heal and overcome life's challenges, but sometimes need extra support and guidance along the way.
