Therapists Beginning With S in New Mexico
With 20 years in the recovery community, I've transitioned from a peer support volunteer to a licensed substance abuse associate (LSAA) with a BA in Psycho-Spirituality. My mission is to provide a safe place for individuals navigating substance misuse and associated challenges like trauma and mood disorders. Since my early twenties, I've been actively involved in support groups, starting with homeless LGBTQIA+ youth. This diverse experience has shaped my commitment to inclusivity and understanding, fostering a continuous journey of empathy and support. You can check out my book, The Recovery Warrior.

Since I started working in mental health 29 years ago I have been helping those with trauma and addictions find solutions that worked for them. During that time I learned numerous evidence based approaches that helped those with anxiety, depression, family and interpersonal issues as well as grew in learning about and treating complex trauma and the interactions with compulsion disorders and addictions. I work with individuals over the age of 14 up and families with multiple challenges from integrating the blended family to addressing military deployments and reintegration. I work as an ally for LGBT+ community

Do you feel like trauma has hijacked your life? Are you experiencing depressive episodes/sadness, anxieties, negative thought patterns and relationship dynamics that tend towards being reactive? People that work with me learn how to understand the impact and effects of trauma and grow their resiliency muscle. Its time to stop hiding wounds you can’t name and skipping out on many possibilities in your life because of internal fears, waning drive and a sense of inner defeat. I can help.

I have had a rich career as a clinical social worker spanning 3 decades and in retrospect, feel like my work has helped me to grow so much in the process of supporting others. Upon arriving at retirement in 2021, I took some time off to reflect, to do my own self-care and to provide more support for my aging mother. However, I still feel drawn to the field, have much to offer and have decided to provide supervision for those seeking clinical licensure.

Greetings from Frank Smith, MFT. Let me offer a truism: whether positive or negative, most behavior is learned. Behavior often results in patterns. Those patterns can be positive and life affirming. But they can also be maladaptive and impact our self-esteem, happiness and relationships. You may be wondering...why can't I break these destructive patterns? I can help you unravel where they came from. Such awareness is the first step toward better emotional health. Let me be your psychological navigator to help you let go of the past and have a better and more fulfilling life.

Whether you feel you have no idea where to start, pooling at an in-between place, or need a supportive boost to get back on track in your life, I offer a holistic approach to therapy. To let the ups and downs be witnessed and heard is a profound experience. To receive the care you need is to let go of the belief that doing it alone is the only way. We will work with the contained emotions of transition, grief, relationships, or trauma, allowing wholeness and self-compassion to emerge. “Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.” ― Nisargadatta Maharaj

I am passionate about working with people who are ready to be free of the false beliefs about who they are and to connect with the love and wisdom and light that lives within. As we learn to break the identification with what we are not, we access freedom. As part of this journey, I believe humor is critically important. Taking ourselves and life a little less seriously supports letting go. My first published book, Stress Free in 30 Seconds is subtitled "A Slightly Irreverent Approach to Navigating Life's Challenges" and that, I believe, is what it's all about.
