Black and African American Therapists in New Mexico

It is an honor to work with my clients and hold their trust and vulnerability in a sacred space. As a person who has lived and thrived with a physical disability for 37 years, I am compassionate and empathetic to the emotional and physical pain that life's difficulties bring. I aim to empower my clients to achieve greater emotional well-being and lead fulfilling lives.

I have been providing mental health and substance abuse treatment for both adults and adolescents for over 12 years. I currently provide psychotherapy and clinical supervision in the Las Cruces area. I am experienced at treating adults, couples and families and my primary goal is to assist clients in achieving their full potential. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma and loss, relationship difficulties and life change challenges. I believe this is best achieved by building a relationship in a supportive, nonjudgmental partnership that acknowledges the strengths and potential of each individual client that creates a sense of hope.

Healing is more than a concept; it's an active process, a journey we embark on with intention and support. I recognize the courage it takes to seek help and embrace vulnerability, seeing it not as weakness, but as strength. I have traversed similar paths & I understand the emotional terrain intimately. As a Certified Peer Support Worker (CPSW), I offer empathetic listening and personalized guidance rooted in shared experiences, integrating spiritual teachings, mindfulness techniques, and herbal remedies into our holistic approach to healing. Unlike traditional therapy, my support is grounded in lived wisdom, supplemented by

I am passionate about helping people! I believe in a person-centered, strengths-based approach.

Are you looking for new coping skills to manage your anxiety or depression? Perhaps you're looking for a safe place to unpack and heal from past trauma(s).

Greetings! I am Greg McNeil, a Ph.D. candidate, Life Coach, and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 17 years of professional experience in New Mexico. I view the decision to enter therapy as a uniquely transformative experience with powerful implications for our lives. “Human life does not fulfill its promise within the structures and establishments of society. No one comes to true selfhood by being what society wants you to be, nor by doing what society wants you to do.” Gnostics

I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 25 years of clinical practice; with specialized, advanced training in the Neural-Affective Relational Model (NARM) for Complex Developmental Trauma. I help clients heal patterns of relating to self and other that get in the way of what it is they’re most wanting for themselves—whether that’s greater peace of mind, more confidence, or sustaining, healthy relationships. I currently have a full time practice— online in Illinois, and in person in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Therapists at our Telshor Behavioral Health Center provide individual and family therapy for children and adults.   We specialize in family and couple issues and child play therapy.  For those who would rather participate from home, Hippa-compliant teletherapy is provided via live video from experienced therapists.   Whatever type of therapy you are looking for, our seasoned therapists are here to help. 

My PhD in Clinical Psychology has given me the knowledge and sensitivity that psychotherapy is a very personal experience. Together we gain the trust to peel the layers of the "false self" away from the true, authentic self. Each person is different, therefore each person's healing has to be treated individually. Human suffering can be healed and I treat trauma from early childhood to the present, treating unhealthy early attachment issues we may use now in relationships. Together we will examine patterns which the patient finds distressing and long standing. I do not give advise, rather I help the patient find the advise within.

Everyone has the capacity to heal no matter how profoundly wounded they are. Each individual's path to healing will be unique and for the best chance of long term recovery a person needs to find a healthy balance within their body, mind and spirit. It is my intention to help each client find the unique treatment team to help them achieve this balance. Additionally, I am experienced in affective, eating and personality disorders, substance abuse and trauma. I also understand how each of these interact with one another and can cause even more distress within each person.

The purpose of counseling and psychotherapy is to help individuals embrace healthy life choices through self-understanding and self-awareness. Counseling helps clients/patients identify the causes of stress and to find meaningful and fulling remedies for their life situations, in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

I have been in practice for many years and have been helping people manage many personal problems. I specialize in helping medical professionals. I believe in giving people respect, support and help in understanding life's challenges. Depression and anxiety are the most common problems I see, wrapped in the context of many life changes, disappointments and traumas. Feel free to ask about specific issues. Diagnoses - developed in order for mental health professionals to be included in insurance; they are averages, not personal identities. Diagnoses are over-used, in my opinion - they have some relevance - they don't define a person.

I use the Interactive Metronome (see Interactive Metronome.com) to treat ADD, ADHD, Brain Injuries, and other what I call brain configuration issues. I work with children, adolescents, adults, GBLT, couples, and blended families that often blend like oil and water. I have worked with Veterans with PTSD and other issues.
