Ketamine-Assisted Therapists in Las Cruces, NM

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.

Amber provides therapy with a holistic and eclectic approach that is individualized, taking into account that the client is the expert of what they need and how they best retain information. The therapeutic process can incorporate interventions related, but not limited to, Eye Movement desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Sex Therapy, Hypnosis, CBT-E, EFT, Bowen, Gottman and more.

I’m here to walk beside you as you shed what no longer serves you. Whether you’re healing relational wounds, seeking a more authentic way of being, or integrating expanded states of consciousness-together we make space for what wants to move, soften, and be witnessed.

I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning. I offer EMDR and IFS treatment to support processing past trauma (including chronic, relational, and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, especially late/adult diagnosis.

I’m here to support you! I specialize in partnering with adults experiencing Anxiety, PTSD, Impaired Self-Esteem, Spiritual or Religious Stressors, Burnout and Compassion Fatigue. I provide Helping Professionals with a safe space to be vulnerable, explore a greater sense of authenticity, address life concerns and improve self-care. My intuitive and inclusive style may also help you to feel seen, safe, and invited toward possibilities. I also specialize in supporting persons who identify as Empaths, Highly Sensitive and/or Neurodivergent.

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.
