With an academic background in women’s studies, psychology and family systemic processes, I am able to provide deep insight into how individuals, children, couples, families, and young adults navigate all relationships and societal expectations. This allows clients to succeed in self-discovery and grow into better functioning, creating more harmony within life's roles.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.
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.
My name is Carolina. I've been a therapist for nearly 9 years in NM.
Hello. My name is Stephanie. I have been in healthcare and mental health for 35 years, 10 years in nursing, and 25 in counseling and therapy. I have been a high-risk labor and delivery nurse, a school district health director, an at-risk program developer, and a mental health counselor/therapist for children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and special needs and their parents. I now work primarily with an adult population. My experience has given me a broad understanding of people dealing with difficult issues and stressors in their lives. I am experienced in helping individuals with ADHD, change, adjustment, esteem, anxiety, trauma, and depression, and parenting. I am kind, gentle, empathetic, positive, funny and a good listener. I am also serious, thoughtful, holistic, client-centered, and solution-focused. My goal as a therapist is to help you find solutions to the Issues (problems) that have brought you to counseling. I want to help guide you through the process of determining the relevant issues, your wants and needs, and identifying skills and techniques to build solutions that can continue to serve you through, not only the immediate problem, but throughout life as well. My goal is to empower you through life's challenges, transitions and growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Albuquerque
Finding postpartum therapists in Albuquerque starts with looking for care that matches what you want support with after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also search for a postpartum depression therapist, postpartum depression counselor, or prenatal depression therapist. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support in their specialties. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal focused training in this area.
Albuquerque has a mix of local therapy options, and virtual care can make it easier to find a therapist whose availability fits your day. New parents may need to plan around unpredictable schedules, infant care, physical recovery, transportation, or shared caregiving. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Albuquerque or virtual appointments from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach to counseling for postpartum depression, communication style, and experience supporting parents before you book.
Therapy in Albuquerque can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review profiles and schedule directly when you’re ready.
