At New Mexico Counseling and Trauma Recovery, our story is deeply intertwined with the land we serve. New Mexico’s profound beauty and rich history are juxtaposed with the weight of generational struggles, poverty, and systemic challenges that have led to widespread complex trauma in families. Witnessing the intergenerational impact of these experiences, including mental health issues, addiction, and emotional pain, inspired our mission to make healing a tangible reality rather than an elusive dream. Our clinic’s foundation goes beyond clinical knowledge; it is rooted in personal journeys of recovery. The realization that true healing involves thriving, not just surviving, led us to adopt a compassionate, holistic, and co-creative approach that honors each individual’s resilience and unique path. This philosophy guides us to meet clients where they are, be their healing partners, and help them not only overcome their past but also create a vibrant and meaningful future.

Our journey began in the heart of New Mexico, where we identified a crucial gap in behavioral health services that necessitated a more compassionate and comprehensive approach. While traditional models have focused on addiction through 12-step programs, they often overlook the profound impact of trauma on overall well-being. Recognizing the need to address both “big T” traumas like abuse and war, as well as “little t” traumas such as chronic stress and emotional neglect, we strive to provide a deeper understanding of these root causes for true recovery. Our company was established to introduce a trauma-informed perspective to healing, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging past pain to pave the way for lasting recovery and positive mental health. By honoring each person’s experiences and offering a holistic approach, we aim to build a foundation for a healthier and more hopeful future, creating a new legacy of healing in New Mexico grounded in compassion and understanding.
