LGBTQ+ Issues
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, not explained or tolerated. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients from a shame-free, sex-positive perspective, bringing years of experience and genuine investment in the specific ways that systemic harm, family rejection, religious trauma, and identity-based shame show up in our lives and bodies. I am completing certification in sexuality therapy and work from a trauma-informed approach that gets beneath the surface — because you came here to actually heal, not just be accepted. You already deserve acceptance. Let's get to the rest.

Ms. Holly A. Finlay
Therapist, MA, LPCC, CEDS, CSP, Fellow iaedp
After 21 years in the field I still love my work. I have learned to design effective treatment based on the individual needs and not to use a one-size-fits-all approach. I think it is important for clients to know that eating disorder treatment does not mean getting fat, it means getting healthy!

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.
