Our Therapists

Hi! I’m Jenalee, a bilingual English and Spanish speaking Mental Health Counselor, Integrative Wellness Coach, and Yoga and Yoga Trapeze Instructor originally from New Mexico. I have worked as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for over 6 years, providing individual and outpatient group therapy to diverse populations, as well as intensive treatment Multisystemic Therapy. I have worked in both private office and public school settings, giving me a wide range of contact with individuals of different backgrounds, ages, and socioeconomic status. Currently, I work as a certified yoga instructor and Integrative Wellness Life Coach, as integrating the 4 body systems of mind, body, emotions, and spirit has become my passion in the work that I have done throughout the years as a counselor and yoga instructor. I am currently an EMDR therapist and very passionate and excited about what this therapy has to offer to clients and the belief that healing our traumas little by little can help heal our society. I have a performing dance and classical piano background and these hobbies, as well as my yoga practice both as a teacher and as a lifelong student, are my personal therapy and passions that help me to come back to myself no matter where I am or what is happening around me. I am a new mom and the transformation to motherhood has been one of the most rewarding insights into both myself and my clients, and has opened up my eyes to a great need for both pre- and postpartum support. I also am very passionate about immigrant communities as an immigrant working and living in various countries myself, and facilitating the wide array of hardships that come with integrating oneself into a new culture or country.  I am committed to working with individuals, couples, and families of multicultural populations and providing opportunities and support, and most of all, getting to know and listening to your individual story.

I have always known I was meant to work with people. I realized the best way for me to do this was to be there for a person who needed someone to listen, confide and work with throughout their journey, in a safe and confidential space. There are times when people need to be seen as individuals or as couples, whatever the case may be, I am here to help guide you through the process. As a military spouse for the last twenty-two years, I have worked with individuals, couples, military personnel, and their families personally and professionally. I understand all come with a unique set of circumstances. I have an MA in Counseling and a PhD in marriage and family therapy, emphasizing in military families. I am a native New Mexican, but I have also lived and worked across the U.S, and in three other countries. Working with people and seeing their hard work move them forward is the biggest reason I do this job. I hope to have the opportunity to assist you on your journey.

Hi there! My name is Shara, and I am a licensed Clinical Psychotherapist with over two years’ experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and fellow Veterans in overcoming trauma-related difficulties utilizing an eclectic psychotherapeutic approach. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, play therapy, psychodynamic and trauma-focused psychotherapy with a client-centered application. In session, clients and I co-create individualized treatment plans, focusing on goal setting while integrating supplemental therapies to fit a client’s specific needs. I labor at assisting a client transmute any distorted beliefs, address self-destructive behaviors, teach emotional regulation skills, distress tolerance skills, build self-esteem through self-acceptance, and assist in building effective coping strategies to manage life stressors and difficult transitions. Through the therapeutic alliance and collaboration - clients gain control of their lives, realize increased holistic wellness, emotional congruence, identity integration, and self-acceptance. I believe true healing begins with self-reflection through introspection, self-validation, practicing self-love through self-care, and radical acceptance of the whole of you and your story!

Hello, I'm Joyce MacKinstry, LMFT and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 15 years experience working in clinic and agency settings. My focus is on working with adults and couples, age 18 and above. My specialities are in trauma work, relationship counseling and cognitive-behavior therapies. I recently retired from full-time employment but still enjoy helping others so I work part time. I enjoy gardening and volunteer work. I became a therapist to be able to offer a sense of connection and compassion to those struggling to get "past the past" and support recovery from mental health challenges.

Hello. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New Mexico and Oregon. I completed my Master’s Degree in Clinical/Counseling Psychology at the New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I have been trained in a range of modalities. I have experience working with adolescents and adults. I am passionate about taking an integrative and holistic approach, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed, experiential, and person-centered techniques to treat the whole person. I have a lot of compassion for people going through life’s challenges and transitions, and feel privileged to work with those who are seeking support. I want individuals to be heard and empowered as they move through the natural process of finding meaning, healing, and hope. I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, reading, learning new languages, and traveling the world. I strive to be a lifelong learner, and always seek new opportunities to grow my clinical skills.
