Hi! My name is Lidia. I've been a therapist for 16 years. I obtained my Master's Degree from New Mexico Highlands University. I have many years of experience working with individuals, children, teens, families and couples.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a background that spans mental health, geriatrics, home health, intensive care, and long-term rehabilitation. My personality is open, honest, and direct—I believe transparency builds trust. With over a decade of hands-on nursing experience and recent advanced training in psychopharmacology and CBT, I bring both empathy and expertise to our work together. My clients can count on clear communication, collaborative care, and a deep commitment to helping them thrive.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Albuquerque
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.
