Autism
Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Elissa Chazdon
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW, LSW
Raising a neurodivergent child means parenting outside the standard playbook — and it helps enormously when both parents, or both households, are working from the same neuro-affirming page. My groups take a strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach: understanding sensory and regulation needs, communicating in ways that actually land, and building routines and expectations that fit your child rather than asking your child to fit a mold that was never built for them.

Online in Las Cruces, NM (Online Only)
Las Cruces is New Mexico's second-largest city and home to New Mexico State University, sitting in the Mesilla Valley near the US-Mexico border, with a population that is roughly 60% Hispanic or Latino and a mental health landscape shaped by border region experience—immigration stress and family separation, the cross-border family ties that define daily life in the borderlands, and the specific challenges of communities living at the intersection of two countries, cultures, and legal systems. NMSU's counseling center serves its student population, and Mesilla Valley Hospital provides inpatient behavioral health services; a private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related stress and family separation trauma, border identity and bicultural experience, student mental health, economic anxiety in a region with significant poverty, and the mental health dimensions of living in a community where the US-Mexico border is a daily reality rather than a political abstraction.
