We offer evidence-based individual therapy for teens (14+) and adults. Our approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, trauma-informed therapy, and Brainspotting.

We are based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and offer in-person therapy at our office. We also serve clients statewide via secure telehealth.

We support clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, grief, OCD, identity exploration, and more. We also help individuals work through relationship issues, academic struggles, and recovery from abuse or difficult life events.

Yes, we provide therapy for teens age 14 and older. We help adolescents manage anxiety, stress, ADHD, peer and school challenges, identity development, and life transitions. We understand how important the family system is in supporting teens, and we encourage parents or caregivers to be available to participate in sessions as needed, especially when family dynamics are contributing to emotional distress or conflict.

Every teen is different, but here are some common signs that therapy may be helpful:

• Persistent sadness, worry, or irritability

• Difficulty coping with school stress or friendships

• Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy

• Withdrawing from family or activities they once enjoyed

• Self-harm behaviors or talk of wanting to disappear

• Difficulty focusing or managing responsibilities

• Trouble adjusting to a recent loss, move, or life change

• Struggles with identity, confidence, or boundaries

If you’ve noticed any of these signs—or if your teen has asked for help—therapy can provide them with a supportive space to explore what’s going on and develop healthier coping tools.

Yes. While teens need space to build trust with their therapist, we strongly believe in the importance of caregiver involvement. Family dynamics play a central role in teen well-being. We may invite parents or caregivers to participate in check-ins, collaborative planning, or family-focused sessions when appropriate.

Brainspotting is a somatic-based therapy that helps people process trauma and emotional blocks by using eye position and focused attention. It allows deeper access to areas of the brain involved in emotional regulation and memory.

Yes. We offer telehealth counseling to clients across New Mexico using secure, HIPAA-compliant video. Online therapy can be a great option for those with busy schedules, transportation barriers, or who simply prefer the comfort of home.

Please note: We do not offer phone-based sessions. All telehealth appointments are conducted via secure video.

Yes, we accept the following insurance plans:

• Medicaid (Centennial Care plans)

• Presbyterian Health Plan

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico

• UnitedHealthcare (including UHC Community Plan)

If you are unsure whether your plan is accepted, feel free to reach out. We are happy to verify your benefits and answer questions about coverage or copays.

You can schedule an appointment by filling out the contact form on our website, emailing us directly, or calling our office. If you call and reach our voicemail, please leave a message with your name and callback number—we will return your call within 1–2 business days to gather a few details and match you with the best fit for your needs.

Your first session is called an intake appointment. It focuses on gathering information so we can understand what brings you to therapy and how we can help. We’ll ask about your symptoms, history, goals, and overall life context. For teen clients, we may start with both the caregiver and teen in the session, then transition to one-on-one time with the teen. By the end, we’ll talk through next steps and begin building a treatment plan together.

All new clients must complete intake paperwork before an appointment can be scheduled. These forms include questions about your history, current concerns, consent, and insurance. Completing them thoroughly helps us prepare and ensures that your time in session is focused and productive. Appointments cannot be scheduled until intake forms are submitted.

Attendance is an important part of the therapeutic process. We ask that you provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. A late cancellation is any cancellation made with less than 24 hours’ notice. A no-show is missing an appointment without notice. Clients who have two no-shows or late cancellations may be discharged from the practice.

Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential, with a few legal exceptions. We are required to break confidentiality if there is a risk of harm to yourself or someone else, or in cases of suspected abuse of a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult. In some cases, we may be required to respond to a court subpoena. For teen clients, we work to maintain privacy while involving caregivers appropriately, especially when safety or family issues are involved.
