Top virtual New Mexico children therapists who accept Premera Blue Cross

Much of my career has focused on working with adolescents and young people as they transition into adulthood. In addition, I have experience helping clients coping with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, addictions, parenting issues, & anger management. Helping clients to identify strategies to reach their goals is my objective. I want clients to work through their unique challenges and learn to manage their stressors to live healthy and productive lives. Furthermore, I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward a change. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Open to working with adolescents ages 13 and older.

Hi, my name is Andrea Burgess and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist with 16 years of clinical experience. I began my work in the helping professions as a wilderness guide for incarcerated youth and served in the public sector in foster care and adoptions, juvenile justice, inpatient psychiatric service and emergency services. I absolutely love walking with people who are finding their way through tough times, and I believe it is both a calling and an honor to be able to do so. I work with clients who are struggling with difficult life transitions, relationship problems, parenting stresses, trauma and addictions. While I do believe that you have the answers you seek inside yourself, I am also willing to give my opinion when asked! I utilize my training in neuro-biology, mindfulness and meditation, twelve step recovery, attachment trauma, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relational boundaries to offer education and assist you with processing the particular content that is bringing you to Employee Assistance Services at this time.

I am grateful to be a guide to individuals during difficult life challenges: depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, and relationship issues. I work collaboratively with you to understand and define your current issues and find solutions. We will explore how to build upon strengths and help develop new coping skills to manage life's challenges. My therapeutic approach incorporates several major therapeutic modalities and techniques, including EMDR, Solution-Focused, CBT, DBT, and Imago. I seek to help my clients discover their potential and learn skills and strategies that will help them achieve their goals by empowering them and providing conditions for personal growth. I tailor my particular focus to the needs of the client(s). I believe that every individual possesses the strength and potential to work through life problems and that most issues are developmentally based.

I have over 20 years of experience working with all ages from teenagers to seniors. One thing I’ve learned through my experience is there is no shame in reaching out for help when we feel life is going against us. We all need it at some point, and if you realize you need some extra support, it is a healthy sign that you want to improve your life in some way. I follow the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) models to work with my clients to develop different ways of interacting with the world in order to get unstuck. If you are ready to try a different way of managing stress, anxiety, and depression, working as a team we can help you feel more connected to what is important, be present, and do what matters in life.

My approach is gentle and compassionate, as well as direct. My intention is to create a safe space for you to explore the areas of life and challenges that matter most to you. I believe we all have solutions and resilience to meet life's challenges, and as a therapist I am here to support you with uncovering your own strengths, resources, and clarity. Some areas of specialty include anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, chronic health recovery, financial therapy, and making changes in daily habits to support overall wellness. I graduated from Naropa University with a Masters in Dance/Movement Therapy and Somatic Counseling. As a somatic therapist, I support relating to the body as a resource and incredibly useful tool to connect with the body, mind, and nervous system. I offer mindfulness tools that can help with basics such as sleep and stress relief, as well as getting more in touch with what you need at a deeper level moving forward.

I have spent over 10 years of experience working with adults, children and couples seeking help with depression, relationship issues, anxiety and major life stressors. I received my Bachelor of Science in Social Work from The University of Alabama at Birmingham and received Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Al. I utilize relational, collaborative, strength based, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness based, solution focused and emotionally focused approaches to therapy always maintaining the creativity, flexibility and awareness necessary to best meet the needs of every unique individual and couple. My goal is to establish a caring relationship with clients to assist in building on your strengths and better collaborate with you towards meeting your goals and living the meaningful life you value and desire. Open to adolescents 15 years old and up.

I graduated from USC with my MSW in 2014 and I am and independently licensed clinical Social Worker in WA, CA, MA & NM. I chose this career path because I believe we all need to be passionate and engaged with our own emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It impacts how we think, feel, and act; and, it also helps determine how we manage stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. My practice includes adolescents 13 and above. I have been an Independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2018. The approach I use is to focus on strengths and help work towards solutions in one’s life. I also believe that a holistic view of our mind and body needs attention. I hope that my client's know they are heard within sessions, and that we have worked together towards mental wellbeing; however, I want them to recognize that they have the ability to use what they learn out in the world on their own!
