Grief counselors and therapists in Albuquerque, NM

I believe that people can heal when they feel heard & understood.

I help people in all life stages navigate transitions, repair and reconnect in their relationships, overcome anxiety and loss, and cultivate courage to change.

My name is Janine Gonzalez, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico: with over 17 years' of experience working with a diverse population. This includes working with individuals experiencing complex issues. I started my career within acute medical settings, ER, ICU and Trauma unit, before becoming Licensed. Therefore, I also bring 28 years of experience working with people medically complex which have impacted their mental health and vis versa.

I came to psychology later in life, and I know how challenging life can be. I have known great joy and great sorrow in my life, and I can relate to the struggles of others. I love working with individuals who seek answers to move them forward in life. As a wife, mother, and grandmother, I know that individuals need to be heard and not lectured about what to do.

I work with teens (13+) and adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, sexual addiction, and gender identity exploration. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure of your next steps, or just need a space where you can be yourself, you’re not alone.

It is essential to me to build a strong therapeutic alliance so you feel safe, comfortable, and supported in your healing. I encourage my clients to be advocates for their own well-being, and I see therapy as a space where you can begin to reconnect with your purpose and move toward the life you want.

I am a faith-based clinician, and I believe therapy can be especially powerful when we integrate the spiritual aspect with evidence-based practices, if that’s something that feels meaningful to you.

I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.

I work with adults, young adults and children experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic interventions, and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and create lasting change.

Hi, I’m Mariam Opafunso, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns, as well as eating-related conditions in adolescents and adults.

Outside of my professional role, I value balance and growth, and I show up fully for the people I serve. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a unique experiential approach, I specialize in guiding clients aged 16 to 65 through challenges such as anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals who have a faith practice or those exploring their spiritual lives. I believe that spiritual growth can play a vital role in mental health and personal development.

My practice encourages active participation in sessions, empowering you to make meaningful changes and improve your overall well-being.
