Therapists in Clovis, NM
For many, pursuing therapy is an important step toward self-improvement and personal growth. Therapists are highly-trained professionals who often help their clients manage mental health conditions, overcome challenging circumstances, and recover from traumatic experiences. They can also help with general self-betterment, including helping clients find more positivity, improve their self-image, or adopt healthier habits.
Therapists often specialize in a particular group, condition, or treatment. For example, a therapist might gain additional training in mood disorders and choose to work primarily with those diagnosed with mood-related conditions. Alternatively, they might specialize in a particular style or technique, such as using primarily person-centered approaches to support their clients with unconditional positive regard or using hypnotherapy to help clients achieve meaningful change. Therapists also sometimes specialize in working with specific age groups, such as gaining additional training to help address the concerns of older adults.
Your counseling experience will be unique to you, but you can feel comfortable approaching a therapist about threats to your well-being, such as a challenging mental health condition or a history of traumatic exposure. You can also talk to a therapist if you need help maintaining focus on your goals or are at the beginning of a challenging life transition.

It is often helpful to consider your needs when choosing a practitioner to ensure their expertise aligns with your therapy goals.

Life brings us experiences which cause us stress, stretch our capacity to cope. We respond with depression and anxiety often resort to ineffective behaviors, such as substance use, attempting to maintain our stability. The impact on us can be devastating and we can spiral out of control, often resulting in a disruption in our relationships, ability to work, ability to manage tasks and affairs and our ability to find satisfaction or meaning in our lives. I use Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral, humanistic, client centered, and mindfulness based approaches to remove blocking emotions and beliefs can help find balance and promote healing. I offer a nurturing and non-judgmental approach to therapy, encouraging a holistic approach to healing and life. I believe that each person has the inner capacity and resources to find a path to inner balance and harmony, and success and effectiveness in meeting the demands of life.
