Therapy with Lived Wisdom

With over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys, I bring more than clinical knowledge—I bring lived understanding. My work is rooted in the mind-body connection, because true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the nervous system, in the body, and in the deeper layers of the self.

Choosing a therapist is a sacred step. If you’re wondering how to choose, I invite you to ask: “Do they do their own work? Have they sat in the depths they’ll be guiding me through?”

I have. I’ve lived the unraveling. I’ve done the deep inner work. And I’ve found my way through.

Now, I offer a steady, compassionate presence to help you find yours. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me walk with you.

First off, Hello! I am an LCSW who has worked with individuals, couples, children, and adolescents. I've worked with a variety of clients from those who have been recently been in-patient, going through a life transition (i.e. divorce, grief, relocations), struggling with depression and/or anxiety, and who have experienced abuse and other traumas.


Choosing to be in counseling is an extraordinary act of self-discovery and self-love that I believe each person can benefit from.

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


I believe that healthy change starts from within and my role is to be a guide during this process. Often times we feel we are stuck in a rut with no way out, but together we'll work on building self-empowerment, better self-care, and self-awareness. No matter what you're going through there's always room to learn and grow from the past to make a better future. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, and building self-confidence. I'm also trained in Brainspotting.

Robert Soucy

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction services. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing substance use challenges, mental health concerns, life transitions, and personal struggles that can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they want to be.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing addiction, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, men's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe that healing happens when people feel accepted, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. No matter how difficult things may feel today, I believe there is hope for growth, healing, and recovery.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in New Mexico

Searching for therapists in New Mexico starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and counseling options can vary, so it helps to look for clear experience with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare New Mexico therapists, review the specialties and approaches listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.

Practical fit matters, too. Whether you live in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, or another part of New Mexico, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments work better for your schedule and location. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what the therapist focuses on in care.

The cost of mental health care in New Mexico varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for New Mexico counseling and therapy options by insurance, availability, specialty, and appointment format. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new clients.
