Iam Jophiel, LCSW, SEP, CPAT, CCTP-II
Therapist, @ Embodied Sovereignty Therapy
I’m here to support you! I believe that you are more than what has happened to you, the roles you have learned to carry, or the ways you have adapted to survive. Therapy can offer a space to reconnect with yourself beneath those experiences, while honoring the wisdom, complexity, and humanity you already bring with you.
I approach my work with you with curiosity, compassion, intuition, and deep respect for your autonomy. My intention is to offer a relationship and space where you can feel seen and supported, listen more deeply to yourself, and explore what becomes possible when you have greater access to awareness, choice, and your own embodied wisdom.

Elissa Chazdon
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW, LSW
I've been working with clients in a consultant capacity since 2009, and since completing my Master's in Social Work a few years ago as an LMSW/LSW, have added a strong clinical foundation to that experience. Together, they give me a deep well of practical, real-world knowledge to draw from with every client who sits down across from me. In addition, I have an adult bonus daughter and two adult children (with whom I have wonderful, fulfilling relationships) as well as having been a coparent.
I believe learning never stops — especially in a healing profession. I regularly pursue continuing training across a range of modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed, neuro-affirming approaches, so the tools I bring into session stay current, evidence-based, and responsive to the person actually in front of me.
I enjoy working with a wide variety of individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds, walks of life, and family structures, and I bring particular depth of experience working with families who are CPS or CYFD involved. Social justice and equity aren't an add-on to my practice — they're part of how I show up for every client, and I'm committed to creating a space where people of all identities and circumstances feel respected, seen, and supported.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I started Eff Shame Therapy because I believe shame is at the root of most of what brings people to therapy — and because I think it deserves to be named directly rather than tiptoed around. We are living in a world that generates shame faster than most of us can process it, and many of us are carrying wounds from abuse, trauma, and systemic harm that have never had a real place to land and heal.
I work with adults who are ready to stop managing their pain and start actually moving through it. My approach is trauma-informed, shame-free, and genuinely collaborative — I bring some of the most effective healing tools available including EMDR, Flash Technique, and ketamine-assisted EMDR, and I meet you exactly where you are.
This work matters to me. Not as a concept but in the room, session by session, with real people who deserve more than survival.

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.
