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.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
I began a 32 year career with Los Angeles County in 1970. During the entirety of my career I worked in residential and community based treatment programs providing treatment services to youth ages 13-18. My responsibilities ranged from having counseling and supervision responsibility for a caseload of twenty-four 15-18 year old minors, to having administrative responsibility for a 130 bed residential treatment program. In between these vastly different areas of responsibility, I served as a consultant to 24 residential treatment programs providing treatment services to roughly 2,100 adolescents. Despite that I have been retired from LA County for 23 years, I still work with 10-18 year old youth on a selective basis.

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.

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.
