Women's Issues 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.

**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.

** 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?

Hi my name is Alexandria Rubio and I was born and raised in the South Valley and Southwest part of Albuquerque. With strong ties to my culture, I've found the importance in trying to bridge the gap between accessibility to therapy and our culture. Maybe you've thought about starting therapy and are a little hesitant. We can talk about any questions you may have about the process and what a typical session would look like.

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?

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.

If you are suffering from a trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, intrusive thoughts/memories and/or emotional trauma I can help!
