Therapists in Corrales, NM

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.

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.

Talking through things, gaining perspective, having compassion for ourselves and our experiences can bring us back to a place of joy, of savoring, of discovering a meaningful path where life’s ups and downs feel manageable. Understanding emotions, behaviors, and beliefs through a variety of theoretical models can bring awareness, calm, and clarity. I will offer practical techniques to help with depression, anxiety, stress management and suggestions that will support you in learning to better regulate your emotions, overcome obstacles, and form the steps you need to achieve your goals and create lasting change.

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.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience. I specialize in treating anxiety, but I also see those with depression, grief/loss, mood management issues, issues associated with aging and career/life coaching. I am interested in identifying your strengths and helping you locate inner resources to increase your feelings of competence and esteem. My office is conveniently located on Corrales Road close to the post office and the recreational center in Corrales.

From my personal path, I have come to believe that the challenges we face are our greatest teachers. Endings are the first stage of beginnings and what comes in-between, the transition phase, can be marked with murky confusion, emotional despair, and feeling ungrounded. It is a big step to reach out and ask for help in navigating these stages of life. Healing begins from your innate desire to strive for wholeness and happiness. I am here to be a guide, suggest tools for the journey, and to be a reflective presence in your process.

My approach is client-centered, aimed at helping you achieve your therapy goals in the ways that are most accessible and appropriate to you. My areas of strength are relational, insight, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapies, EMDR, sand tray therapy, and strengths work. I am EMDR-Certified, and have a specialized certification in using Sandtray and EMDR jointly which is particularly useful for creative teens and adults who have experienced traumatic incidents.

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.

By providing a safe, supportive environment in which clients can explore difficult issues, they begin to find their voice to express themselves, while gaining personal insight, and starting on a path of healing. I am a Licensed Marital Family Therapist and a Clinical Fellow of the American Association of Marital Family Therapists. In my private practice, in the lovely village of Corrales just outside of both Rio Rancho and Albuquerque, I work with adult individuals helping all my clients begin to build stronger 'internal bridges', which support them in reconnecting with their heart, mind, and spirit.

If you seek a safe place to unload and reload the energies that make you the unique individual that you are and meant to be, Mimbres Counseling Services could be that place for you.

At Cornerstone Lifeworks, you are our priority. We will walk with you through any season.

Life is full of challenges and difficulties, whether you're encountering relationship issues, school problems or feeling overwhelmed with life, counseling can be a powerful tool for gaining confidence within yourself, and it can give you the self awareness to become a happier person. I emphasize skill building and insight from an unbiased perspective that can help you identify the problems and help you work to get where you want to be in your life.

I am a licensed, Ph.D. psychologist with twenty-five years of experience. I see children, adolescents and adults for individual and couples therapy. Whether you are having serious problems or just want to get more pleasure from life, my approach can help you. As a seasoned psychologist, I am dedicated to creating a safe, easy environment for you to heal and grow.

My counseling practice includes adults, adolescents and children as well as those on the DD waiver. I am trained in Sand Tray Therapy and in EMDR. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. If counseling is successful, you should feel that you are able to face life's challenges in the future better than you could before and can face life's challenges in the future without my support or intervention.
