Male Therapists in New Mexico

I help you to see your symptoms as a meaningful response to concerns that you have about your life and yourself. I help you become aware of what is keeping you from living the way you want to live. I help you to get clear about what you want in the way of love, work (expressing yourself) and enjoyment of life and to use your thoughts, feelings, intentions, talents and strengths to get on a path towards satisfying those desires. I help people heal from trauma. I don't believe drugs are good treatment and will help you withdraw from them.

Welcome! My name is Shane, and I am a licensed therapist specializing in trauma and addiction recovery. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to help individuals navigate the complexities of trauma and overcome the challenges of addiction. Trauma resides in the mind and the body and can have lasting impacts on many different areas of a person's life. My approach to therapy is holistic, addressing the underlying causes of addiction and trauma and promoting overall well-being. I utilize a combination of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfullness, and narrative therapy.

I have been providing mental health and substance abuse treatment for both adults and adolescents for over 12 years. I currently provide psychotherapy and clinical supervision in the Las Cruces area. I am experienced at treating adults, couples and families and my primary goal is to assist clients in achieving their full potential. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma and loss, relationship difficulties and life change challenges. I believe this is best achieved by building a relationship in a supportive, nonjudgmental partnership that acknowledges the strengths and potential of each individual client that creates a sense of hope.

I work extremely well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Often, our greatest challenges come during times of major life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often, I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health and happiness.

I specialize in depth psychotherapy, treating the unconscious mind via emotional processing and dreamwork. Dreams and emotions are royal roads to the unconscious mind. Our growth-oriented consultations unravel the hidden meanings within your dreams and feelings. We tap into practical insight that can help illuminate your path in life. Dreams, in particular, are soul messengers. They carry profound wisdom that, once understood, becomes a powerful tool for facing inner truths and generating practical change.

Born for the Tobacco People (Natoh Dine’e) and to the Ute Clan (Nooda’i Dine’e), I am Dine (Navajo) from Fruitland, NM. After 10 years in the school setting with the last 4 as a school counselor, I began my transition outside the schools as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in undoing negative thought processes through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy specifically in the areas of trauma, mood disorders, grief/loss, anxiety, and depression. I believe in combining mindfulness, physical awareness, active/deep listening, and creative problem-solving.

As you search for a therapist, it is important that you find the right fit. This process can feel daunting, even overwhelming. There are many therapists to choose from and many types of therapy. The therapist you stick with should be someone with whom you can collaborate, in a dynamic of trust. The therapeutic relationship is essential to good psychotherapy. I am an attentive therapist who is skilled in building collaborative therapeutic relationships with a diverse range of clients.

I offer grounded, compassionate, holistic, and insightful psychotherapy to individuals who are ready for real change. Together, we can address a broad range of issues, including: grief and loss, relationships and sexuality, trauma, LGBTQ issues, and spiritual issues. I believe in addressing the full spectrum of your concerns, from the most basic to those enduring patterns that have seemed stuck for years or even a lifetime.

Most people just want to be heard. They want to know that someone is listening to them and someone cares. Further, most of us contain the answers to our questions. We simply need someone to support us and remind us of our great worth and value. Within this environment of support we are able to discover within ourselves what we have been lacking, where we are in need and what will improve our lives. You are capable, you can do this! I wish to congratulate you on coming this far, you are not alone and there is not something “wrong” with you. Actually, there are some great attributes within or you would not have had the courage.

The staff at Inner Compass Counseling are client centered and professional. We are looking to help you find and honor a healthier lifestyle for you and your family. We also believe in SMART goals and want to assist you with identifying a clear path and direction to those self-developed and achievable goals; we offer tools, not just an empathetic ear. We work with diverse populations helping them discover who they are and who they want to be.

Hello! As we face life's challenges we often need professional assistance. I look forward to helping you discern and address challenges you are facing now, such as anger, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, transitions that leave you needing to find new balance and meaning, or perhaps longstanding challenges. I am here to help. Our psyche invites us to an unfolding process. Becoming more conscious enables us to make choices about ways to move forward. The time is now. I am privileged to meet you where you are now to collaborate on a comprehensive plan for treatment. Let's talk.

I like to direct our attention away from what is wrong with people toward what can be improved between people. This leads to a lot of philosophical reflection, and laughter. (In fact I am writing a book about the philosophy of humor, and how it shows up in therapy.)

Are you struggling to find self-confidence? Feeling lost or indecisive? Having trouble with communicating your wants and needs or having relationship issues? If so, please continue reading. The good news is that you’re just one phone call or email away from taking a step closer towards having more: insight and clarity, confidence and self-esteem, efficiency and sustainable change.

My own life experiences, background and clinical training have led me to an understanding and the ability to help my clients get to the important things that drive distress and through the difficult things, often to some manner of resolution. I believe that everything we do makes sense, we often just do not understand why and what purpose it serves. I access a broad range of techniques and theories to help my client's feel better and get better.

Individuals feel disconnected from their loved ones, their work and, most importantly, themselves when they experience trauma or abnormally high amounts of stress. They become anxious easily, they can be irritable, and they can relive traumatic events that can lead to life feeling completely unmanageable. Additionally, couples and families become 'stuck' when trauma, conflict, and other negative dynamics get in the way of vulnerability, communication, and the love that we crave from those close to us. Those caught in these painful patterns need support and the therapeutic process can be transformative.

In times of crisis, we struggle with depression, anxiety, relationships, life transitions, divorce, stress, past trauma, grief and loss. Fortunately, there are well-established ways to deal with such difficulties. Dr. Bien is a kind, non-judgmental, skillful, and insightful guide through these problems. Through mindfulness, he helps you find your capacity to respond to life issues with self-acceptance, confidence, courage, and creativity. You learn to relate to your inner life in a different way so emotions don't overwhelm you, and so you can speak and act from strength and clarity.
