Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

I specialize in the areas of women's issues and multicultural counseling. Treatment takes on an integrative approach that best suits your needs. I emphasize personal growth and well-being for individuals, families, and communities of all ethnicities, cultures, races, genders, sexual orientations, ability/disability levels, socioeconomic statuses, ages, sizes, other identities. Although I have expertise as a psychologist and I share that expertise with you, I believe that you are the expert of your life and have your own wisdom. Together we can collaborate to determine the best courses of action to improve your health and well-being.

Whether you have been in counseling for years, or are reaching out for the first time, finding a counselor and starting therapy can be a daunting process. Dealing with grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, or any other stressors can compound the difficulty of this process. As a team, we can walk through whatever stressors are impacting you and find solutions that will guide you to where you want to be in your life.

My role as a therapist is that of a fellow-human that joins you on this chapter of your journey. Think of us together on a walk. On our walk, we encounter the natural elements that both slow us down with fatigue and overwhelm, and also motivate us with inspiration and delight. What makes this journey bearable, do-able, and sometimes even fun is that we are together. You are not alone. The safety I intend to cultivate for you provides the atmosphere for inquiry, exploration, curiosity, and growth.

Want to live with a greater capacity for joy, wholeness, and satisfaction? You might be wanting to reach out to someone, to improve your relationship, to make some changes, or to experience relief from what you're going through or what you've been feeling lately. That's healthy, and this is a great place to start. Welcome. Let's talk.

Counseling is my second career. I have always been in a helping profession and my journey to becoming a clinician began as a teacher. Helping others has always been a passion of mine whether it was in the classroom or in a counseling office. In every client that I have ever had the privilege to be a part of their journey, it has always been my sincere hope that I could at least plant a seed of hope and inspiration. I see clients with various issues. I focus on teen and women issues but do see individuals for many other issues, such as trauma and depression.

Therapy is a very personal and intimate process. I believe a therapist should be a bit less clinical than other health professionals, while at the same time providing a safe and comfortable, yet professional atmosphere. My practice is designed to allow clients to truly be at ease with me, which is one of the most important steps in the completion of successful therapy.

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.

Most of us struggle at times. When the struggle lingers, or when significant or traumatic events impede us from functioning as well as we want to, therapy can help. Most of my clients are wrestling with a combination of anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or the impact of traumatic events. Some are struggling to identify what is most important or meaningful in life. Others are clear about their values and goals, but struggle with barriers of fear, avoidance, or doubt. In therapy, I aim to provide a sense of acceptance, understanding, and challenge to help you make the changes you want for yourself.

Are you struggling to connect with your passion and creativity? You've lost your sense of purpose, you're struggling with emotions that get the better of you, and your relationships are suffering as a result. You know something needs to change, but you're not sure how to get started. You deserve to reclaim your sense of identity and self-determination. I help writers, artists, and creative thinkers reconnect with your purpose, heal from trauma, anxiety, and self-doubt, and foster meaningful relationships with yourself and the world around you.

Are you ready to lean into your power? I am an eclectic and non-traditional art therapist who will guide you towards cultivating self-compassion and arm you with knowledge that will empower you to break free from social scripts that don't feel authentic to you. We'll work together to decrease your anxiety, deconstruct patriarchal conditioning and improve your self-connection. My ultimate goal is to help you live a nourishing and authentic life.

Anxiety and depression gives us bad stories that we tell ourselves over and over again; in therapy, we work together to rewrite those stories, weaving a new narrative with better truths that encourage your growth. We want to help you find the connections in your story to answer the questions about yourself that have been making it difficult to move forward on your own path. Working to untangle our pasts and how they inform our present can be intimidating but it allows us to navigate a better course for our future.

Are things in your life hard right now? Do you need to talk to someone who won’t judge you? You want to get to the root of your problems, but keep repeating the same patterns. Are you tired of all the worrying and stress? You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some change. You're ready to experience joy in your life again. You're ready to feel calm and in control of your emotions. Most of all you're ready to find peace. Learn more: lisafullertherapy.com

Evolution can be messy. Healing and growth are non-linear processes which may feel challenging at times. A holistic approach to healing ensures that we are addressing all facets of the human experience, creating a space to discover our truest and most authentic selves, even when it feels like a hurdle. Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) put it best, “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” I aim to make therapy a safe container where those questions can be explored, either one-on-one in an individual therapy session, or for couples, in a joint session.

In psychotherapy, I aim to offer an authentic space for self-exploration and healing. My therapy practice is grounded in mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches. My clients include individuals and couples experiencing stressful life transitions. I practice culturally responsive and trauma sensitive therapy and provide a safe, non-judgemental place to process uncomfortable emotions and mental stress. I see my role as a guide to help you and navigate authentic healing.
