I am a Social Worker licensed in New Mexico with over 10 years of experience working within homelessness, addictions and violence. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I most frequently use Dialectical Behavioral therapy and am happy to work with people experiencing difficulties with emotion regulation and with interaction with others.
I look forward to working with you!

She’s the best after 1 year I know she understands me and always is looking out after me and wants to always make sure I’m doing okay. Our practice makes me feel better day by day.

I couldn't be happier with Mary Helen. She is warm, caring, friendly, and her insightful counsel has helped me so much to grow through some difficult times in my life. She helped me develop the emotional muscles so I can hold my own, and I am very grateful for her guidance on my journey.

She's great. Very understanding and supportive. But also very down to earth and that makes her very easy to talk to especially if you struggle with opening up to people. Would recommend strongly.

Maryhelen is excellent!! I highly recommend her! She’s down to earth and works on troubleshooting the issues I’m dealing with through DBT methods. I’ve had several therapists in the past, but Maryhelen is the first therapist I’ve encountered that actually gives me hope for learning useful habits and lifelong tools to live the best quality life I can.
