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.
Compassionate therapist experienced with all age groups and diverse backgrounds. I am able to develop strong connections quickly. I have experience working with addictions and substance abuse. Active involvement in the community as a facilitator and advocate provides me with an awareness and knowledge for all challenges in life that impact mental health.
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.
