Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

Trauma impacts both your brain and your body and it can be effectively addressed and integrated in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. Therapy is an opportunity to support, encourage, and empower you on your path to healing. If you have experienced trauma , your ability to trust and build satisfying relationships may have been impacted. You may find it difficult to relax. You may feel as if your experiences and relationships are hard, scary, and confusing. Validating this experience and offering you space to consider effective ways of coping and managing the impact is my focus.

New to therapy or want to re-engage? I believe therapy is beneficial to anyone at some point in their lives. Of course, I'm biased and passionate about helping others. I served adults suffering from addictions and co-occurring disorders for the past 7 years. I have expertise in treating mental health issues like anxiety, depression and trauma . I've provided treatment for substance use and other compulsive disorders like gambling, internet and porn addiction.

Have you tried therapy before but did not see the change you wanted? I work with high-functioning adults who have lived through difficult life circumstances, including traumatic childhoods. I can help with procrastination, trauma reactions, anxiety, job stress, overeating, relationship issues, and substance overuse. I employ EMDR, CBT (for PTSD , anxiety, OCD, depression, and substance overuse), ACT, mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, imaginal/hypnotic therapies, and existential/interpersonal therapies. I'm direct, knowledgeable, and give direction and support. Request a free consultation and let's chat!

Hello, my name is Jean Ramsey and I look forward to working with you. Through my training and struggles in my own life, I have learned compassion and practical ways to help others deal effectively with change and develop resiliency. In my over 20 years as a counselor, I have been fortunate to work with many different ages, cultures and life issues. I have experience working with people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma , addiction, parenting and relationship issues as well as work and life dissatisfaction among other issues.

Hello and welcome. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based. It is centered on the belief that with help, you can learn to think, feel and behave better. My therapeutic role is to promote enhanced self-awareness, to encourage better coping skills, and to foster a greater sense of personal responsibility. These skills will enable you to respond better to adversity and maintain a healthier perspective on your difficulties. You will also realize that you CAN learn to stabilize and reassure yourself when problems arise (as they always do), and thereby work through them more effectively. And knowing that is very liberating!

**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.

Rio Grande EMDR Therapy works with people on their journey of healing. We are here to help you heal from the past and to have a more peaceful, joyful, and enjoyable future. We aim to provide a caring, supportive, and empowering environment where clients can re-discover their own ability to improve their lives and emotional well-being. We specialize in EMDR to help you heal from trauma , increase your resiliency, and to simply feel better. During EMDR, the client is not required to talk in detail about the traumatic event and for many people it can be quicker than other types of therapy.

If you are ready to go beyond talk, beyond living in survival mode, and beyond old conditioned patterns, I would love to work with you. I specialize in supporting people in healing from attachment wounds, relational trauma , abuse, neglect, and the impacts of societal oppression. I see my work through a social justice lens that looks at the whole picture of the world we are living in, not just from the perspective of individual pathology. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, and our innate capacity for individual and collective healing. I endeavor to help you re-claim your voice, your power, and your intuition.

EMDR since 2003. Traditional talk therapy often DOES NOT uncover and address the actual past complexities and traumas of a person's life that continue to have emotional effects causing present day anxiety, stress and depression. I offer Attachment Focused EMDR in an effective format which connects to the underlying memories that repeatedly surface blocking access to a sense of well being and healthier outlook. My form of therapy decreases the charge connected to negative experiences and moves clients into a more objective and positively focused framework (Parnell, 2007). I also offer grief intervention within an EMDR structure.

Working towards recovery from substance abuse or mental health can be difficult. It takes vulnerability and an open mind. Taking the time for self is important and needed for healing.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight, hurdles to overcome, and life path decisions to make at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma , grief/loss, sex addiction, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. The obstacles you want to overcome and the goals you want to achieve are all possible through the safe space of counseling that will support your healing process and personal growth.

Perhaps you feel empty, trapped, or lost. Perhaps you can identify the source of this pain, such as a past trauma or a recent loss, or perhaps you cannot and feel that you “should” be happier. Friends and family may have given you well-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful advice: “Just be positive! Just get over it! Be grateful!” Unable to make use of this feedback, you may feel even more isolated, alienated, and misunderstood. You sense that a new, more joyful life could be possible… but somehow it always feels just out of reach. Maybe you are close to giving up altogether and feel resigned to a life of suffering.

I am excited to provide you with a safe space where your mental health care needs can be met. I embrace my clients where they are at, as a whole person while incorporating holistic elements within my therapeutic practice. I have experience working with C- PTSD , Sexual assault survivors, depression, anxiety, identity struggles, postpartum mood disorders and more. I love to empower my clients through their individual journeys. I have a passion for working with mothers/birthing people as well as complex trauma and LGBTQ+ individuals.

Abuse/neglect during youth often lead to emotional, behavioral, social, and relational problems in youth and in adulthood, including depression and anxiety. Many with childhood trauma have difficulties in relationships. Traumas can leave us feeling like we are always struggling, not trusting, never feeling at home in the world. My clinical focus is on tweens, teens & adults with PTSD , depression, & anxiety, as well as working with transgender teens and young adults. The right combination of interventions and attuned nurturing can help children and adults heal, experience happiness, and gain a sense of self-confidence and hope.
