Find a Therapist in Edgewood, NM

I attack the problem and not the person. I approach therapy using people's own strengths, while challenging unhealthy thoughts, and replacing them with healthy, productive thoughts to increase optimal functioning.

Mission Statement: I believe that we all have inner wisdom and it is a matter of learning how to access it. I emphasize personal growth and well-being for individuals, families, and communities of all ethnicities, cultures, races, genders, sexual orientations, abilitydisability levels, socioeconomic statuses, ages, sizes, and any other identities.

When I wrote my "mission statement" 30 years ago to get into graduate school, I stated that my philosophy was "it is human nature to want to grow and change." I'm happy to say that, through my years of practice, I have found this to be true over and over again. People want to be the best they can be, and this is true, regardless of the issues that bring someone to see me in the first place. Whether it's depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, or just plain dissatisfaction with life - I believe in our ability to grow and change, and it's my job to help people come to believe that about themselves. This approach creates a safe environment where it is OK to explore and learn, and to consequently grow. Receiving professional help is healthy, self-caring behavior, regardless of the issues you are dealing with.

As a mental health professional, I, Brock, MSW, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP (she, her), am a compassionate trauma therapist specializing in family systems work and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). I focus on helping children, adolescents, and their families identify and heal from family system disruptions, relational wounds, and trauma, which often manifest as anxiety, depression, and other life-disrupting disorders. As a certified attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) provider, I collaborate with clients and their families to implement evidence-based strategies, methods, and interventions aimed at improving client outcomes. With a holistic approach to healing and a commitment to empowering my clients, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where healing and growth can flourish. I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and thrive.

I have been practicing therapy since 2013. I have worked with teens and their families as the lead clinician in outpatient settings. I am currently focused on supporting clients in addressing concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting problems, anger management, stress, substance abuse, attachment and complex trauma. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe each client is the expert in their own life and I seek to assist clients in finding the best solutions for their concerns. I am straightforward and believe change can be scary and difficult and I am here to confront the issues contributing to the difficulties you are facing. My approach primarily combines cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, solution focused, and behavioral modification counseling. I believe each client and each situation is unique and therefore I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am so proud of you for taking this step to enrich and empower yourself to meet your goals in life. I genuinely hope I can help you along this path to success and I believe you can accomplish anything you set your mind to doing.

My practice is very client centered with emphasis on being a guide through your healing by using knowledge and experience and current techniques. My passion for this work allows the use of a broad level experience and educational background to guide and assist others. I love helping others and will go out of my way to meet your needs. Join me in a safe comfortable office to dive as deep into your issues you need for healing. I also offer Telehealth via secure internet. I prefer to see you in person but when this is not possible Telehealth is a great option.

I help people recover from trauma. I know what it's like to wake up every day feeling disconnected and afraid. I know the depression, anxiety, and confusion that accompany surviving a traumatic experience. I know that it takes time to understand what you've been through; that it was real, it wasn't imagined, and that any damage done was not of your own making. I also know that healing is possible. It is possible for you to feel confident and safe in your own body. To trust yourself, and have faith in your choices. To know that you are not your past, you are already whole and complete, and YOU are the expert on your own life. Together, we will combine clinical knowledge, intuitive wisdom, and life experience (both yours and mine), for a deeply personal & individualized treatment approach. The more we understand ourselves and our behavior, the more we are able to recognize what works and what doesn't. This helps get us back into the driver's seat of our own lives. I remember the sensation of knowing that something was wrong, but not being able to name it. With the help of a therapist, I was able to recover from years of childhood sexual trauma and regain control of my own life. Whether you are seeking treatment for yourself, your relationship, your family or someone else, I am here and I can help.

Life can feel heavy at times—whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or questioning who you are. You don’t have to face these struggles alone. In therapy, we’ll work together to approach challenges with curiosity, not fear, and uncover the strengths you already carry. I’ll help you build tools to regain a sense of control, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful change in your life. My approach blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, narrative, and solution-focused methods with a holistic focus on the whole person. I also provide gender-affirming care, which I view as a life-saving pathway to authenticity and belonging. This is your space to feel supported, understood, and empowered to imagine new possibilities for yourself.
