Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I have postdoctoral specialty training in Pediatric Psychology from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I am known for my ability to quickly build rapport with teenagers and their caregivers. I am straightforward in my approach and believe that therapy, although hard work, can also be lighthearted and even fun at times. I am interested in understanding teens as their whole individual selves, and not just their presenting concerns. I work to develop a safe confidential space for teens to explore their complex worlds and emotional lives, and collaborate with caregivers when needed. I am experienced working with gifted, neurodiverse, and highly sensitive teenagers.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Heidi Metcalf
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC
Specifically, adolescent girls are a specialty of mine. This is the time when we, as feminine beings, are awakening to our young womanhood. There are many wrong turns that we can take at this age, as we are pulled off course from our own deep knowing and sacredness, into treacherous territory. I seek to reunite young women with their deepest sense of themselves, to build within them a sense of sovereignty that will support them in this life, a feeling of hope for the future of women, and a knowing of their very special belonging in this world.

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Children and teens often express distress in ways that can be confusing or concerning. I support young people in understanding their emotions, building resilience, and developing healthy coping skills. I also work collaboratively with caregivers to strengthen connection and communication, creating an environment where growth and healing can happen both in and outside of therapy.

Providing age-appropriate support for emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges in youth.
7 Years Experience
Online in Albuquerque, NM New Mexico
Albuquerque faces elevated rates of substance use, trauma, and poverty-related stress shaped by the city's high crime rates and significant unhoused population. Therapists here frequently specialize in addiction recovery, trauma, and grief, serving a diverse community with large Native American and Hispanic populations who often seek culturally responsive care. Many practices offer bilingual Spanish-English services, and the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center provides additional mental health resources. Finding a therapist familiar with the social and cultural landscape of the Southwest is a real advantage in Albuquerque.
