Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Albuquerque, NM

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 8 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I work with clients experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and significant life transitions. Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help them gain clarity, stability, and a path forward.

I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Walden University. My approach integrates evidence-based medication management with a collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and holistic perspective. I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs and goals while prioritizing safety, understanding, and empowerment throughout care.

Seeking support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, patience, and respect. Together, we will work toward relief from symptoms, improved coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change when you are ready to begin.

I am Mallory, a licensed social worker and therapist with a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) and a Doctor of Social Work (D.S.W.). My path into this work was shaped by a genuine belief that every person deserves compassionate, individualized care—and that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful vehicles for change. I've worked across clinical, educational, and community-based settings, which has deepened my understanding of the social, structural, and personal forces that shape mental health. 

My practice is grounded in evidence-based frameworks, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—I tailor my work to what each client actually needs, drawing on both advanced clinical training and years of close listening. 

Whether you're in the depths of a depressive episode, exhausted by anxiety, learning to live with a bipolar diagnosis, or simply carrying more than you should have to carry alone—you deserve support that takes you seriously. When you're ready, I hope you'll reach out and schedule an appointment. That first step is often the hardest, and I'll meet you there.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with experience helping individuals on their path to healing. My career began living in a tent and working as a lay therapist at an outdoor psychiatric hospital for adolescents. This experience, combined with growing up in a rural area during a time of family illness and the early loss of both my mother and father, deeply informs the perspective I bring to my work today. I typically work with individuals and families navigating trauma and addiction, women processing the grief of being Motherless Daughters, and those in the aging process seeking to integrate a lifetime of experience.

My style is supportive, relational, and grounded, born from years of witnessing the resilience of the human spirit. Whether you need structured CBT skills, Internal Family Systems (IFS) work, or deep grief processing, I provide a warm, intuitive space to co-create your wellness plan. I am passionate about helping you reclaim a sense of hope and possibility. 

I approach my practice with curiosity and a genuine love for people (and dogs). Healing is a profound and rewarding labor, and it would be my privilege to support you through it. You deserve a space where you can finally be heard without judgment. If you are ready to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, I welcome you to reach out.
