Michelle Kirn

Michelle Kirn

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


Hi, I’m Michelle — a therapist who believes healing happens through connection, understanding, and a touch of humor along the way. I grew up in Rochester, New York, so you’ll notice a bit of that East Coast directness in my style — I say what I mean, and I care deeply about helping you get to the heart of what’s really going on.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Western New Mexico University, where I discovered my passion for helping people heal and grow through life’s toughest challenges. I love working with individuals who have faced trauma, live with chronic health problems, or struggle with anger and other overwhelming emotions.

My own path to becoming a therapist began with my personal experience living with chronic health issues — so when I offer empathy, it’s not just professional, it’s personal. I’m an engaged, hands-on therapist who takes you and your situation seriously. Together, we’ll unpack what’s hard, find practical ways to cope, and reconnect you with your strength, balance, and a sense of calm.

Dr. Kai Chuang

Psychologist

Virtual • New Mexico


I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and high performers—including Division I athletes, professionals, and anyone striving to meet high expectations. In my work, I’ve learned that growth happens at the edge of comfort—where support and challenge meet. My clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both direct and deeply compassionate, creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and encouraged to move forward.

Born in Taiwan, raised in Southern California, and trained in San Francisco and New Mexico, I bring a blend of cultural humility, life experience, and professional training into every session. As an Asian American therapist, I value identity, culture, and lived experience as essential pieces of healing. I aim to create a space where you can show up as your real self—without judgment, without masks.

Two decades of clinical excellence.

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 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.
