Welcome. I am Renee Benavidez, LPCC, and I earned my master’s degree from New Mexico Highlands University in 2012, dedicating my entire 14-year career to supporting both teenagers and adults. While I spent my first 11 years guiding court-committed individuals, I have spent the last three years focusing on the broader community to help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and adjustment disorders. My primary approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful tool that helps process and heal deep-rooted wounds. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing the inspiring, positive transformations my clients make as they reclaim their lives and well-being.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Albuquerque, NM

Finding addiction therapists in Albuquerque starts with knowing what kind of support matches your needs. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse concerns, and co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with a prescriber when medication management is part of your care team.

Albuquerque has a range of therapy options, and the right fit depends on more than specialty alone. You may prefer an in-person therapist near your home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand access when location, transportation, or scheduling limits your options. It can also help to compare availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Read therapist bios closely for how they describe addiction care, including whether they use nonjudgmental language, harm reduction frameworks, or experience supporting people through changes over time.

Therapy in Albuquerque can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for Albuquerque therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
