Top New Mexico teenagers therapists who accept cash payments

Hello and Welcome! I am privileged to walk with you as you go through your journey while instilling hope and optimism in a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LPCC). I have over 20 years of clinical experience. I have extensive experience working with EAPs, families, individuals, adults, and adolescents, providing a wide range of clinical support, consulting with supervisors, crises consulting, and coaching employees. My style is empathetic, caring, insightful, non-judgmental, good listening, constructive feedback, humor, and practical. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to developing a therapeutic relationship to help make positive changes. A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying. B. F. Skinner

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.

I am a non-pathologizing therapist, which means I believe people are not defined by the problem they are struggling with. I do not perceive people as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ but instead simply doing their best in each situation given the context of their history and current situation. I see it as an honor to be invited into someone’s life story and to be trusted to work with them towards their therapeutic goals. I understand that people have varied experiences and come in with different goals/expectations. It is my job to meet someone where they are, and to work collaboratively at their pace. I enjoy working with relationships. This includes your relationship with others, yourself, and other societal systems. My role is to help you navigate these relationships and get out of patterns that are making you feel stuck. I specialize in individuals, couples, non-traditional relationships, relationship issues, the LGBTQIA+ community, life changes, stage of life adjustment, stress, and anxiety.

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. Please reach out if you think we are a good fit, as I would love to help!

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 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 am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of mental health experience in a variety of treatment settings. I currently only provide individual counseling to adult clients. I tend to be a "jump right in"/very direct type of therapist and I mostly use Solution Focused and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods in my practice. I enjoy helping clients identify where they are, where they want to be, and how therapy can assist them on their journey. I am a generalist therapist and my primary specialties are working with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, co-dependency tendencies, grief, and life stressors/transitions. As a social worker, I also believe environment and identity are important factors in who we are, what we struggle with, and the opportunities and roadblocks we might face. I seek to be inclusive in my therapeutic approach and respectful of how individual and societal elements affect a person's treatment needs and goals.

I have been a social worker since 2011 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2020. I believe that everyone is worthy of living a life worthwhile and full of joy! I have experience supporting adults with concerns around Substance Abuse, Depression/Anxiety, Relationship issues, and mood disorders for the last 10 years. I'm honored and appreciative that individuals allow me to walk with them on their journey in life. I am always grateful for their time and in awe at the strength it takes to be vulnerable with a stranger! My approach is strength based and client center as you know yourself better than I do. I challenge clients to think outside the box and learn to become flexible in their decisions and emotions as they navigate and grow into the best version of themselves. Modalities I use regularly: Acceptance (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy, Person-Centered, and Solution Focused Therapy.

I have been in the Substance Abuse field since 1996 working as an alcohol counselor in an outpatient setting and received my applied AAS degree in 1996 and went on to receive my BS in Community Health and Human Services with an emphasis on Grief and Gerontology. For many years, I worked in the criminal justice area of substance abuse and worked for Suffolk TASC and Drug Treatment Court until relocating to North Carolina from New York. After my move, I worked in various different types of SUD and Mental Health programs as well as domestic violence and sexual assault programs.

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.
