Hi, I’m Kelly Cramer, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado and an LPCC in New Mexico. I have spent much of my career supporting kids, teens, and young adults—both in schools and through telehealth—so I’m comfortable with the real-life pressures that show up at home, at school, and in relationships. I also specialize in supporting adults through trauma, life transitions, and stress. I am a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision at Oregon State University, with a research interest in the intersection of climate change and mental health. I care a lot about doing this work, engaging with thoughtfulness and integrity. I am noted as a therapist who is warm, practical, and genuinely on your team.
I want all my clients to know that they are safe to discover whatever they want to learn about their lived experiences. Working with me is very autonomous and rooted in self-determination. You will act as the guide along your healing journey. I am happy to serve as a resource center, grounding presence, and conversationalist throughout your journey. I will always encourage you to show up as you are and trust that the rest will follow as we untangle the many strings that make up our mind, heart, and lived experiences.
If you're overwhelmed or seeking change, I'm here to help. Together we'll explore your patterns, reconnect with who you are, and build a personalized toolbox for long-term growth. My approach is warm, grounded, and centered on your own unique story.
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 am a licensed mental health therapist with a background in social work. I have a master's in clinical social work from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay. I have experience working in outpatient therapy and medical settings, which has shaped my grounded and integrative approach to care. I work with adults and children navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, professional stress, grief, and patterns that feel difficult to shift. I also support individuals experiencing self-doubt, boundary concerns, emotional overwhelm, and relational dynamics that leave them feeling unseen or unheard.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Las Cruces, NM
Searching for therapists in Las Cruces starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy styles, and listed experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Las Cruces, the number of nearby office locations may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New Mexico. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their profile describes the session structure. These details can help you choose between counseling in Las Cruces, virtual therapy, or a mix of both.
Therapy in Las Cruces can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, and you can enter your insurance details to check available coverage and estimated costs before booking. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
