Our practice is committed to training the next generation of mental health professionals. These interns are advanced graduate students who have completed most or all of their core coursework and are in the clinical phase of their training. They provide counseling services under the close supervision of a licensed clinician.
Interns bring fresh perspectives and up‑to‑date knowledge, while benefiting from ongoing guidance, case consultation, and oversight to ensure high-quality, ethical care. If you choose to work with an intern, you will receive the same level of respect, confidentiality, and support, with the added benefit of having both your intern and their supervisor invested in your well-being.

Everyone deserves peace in their life, and I would like to help you add to yours. I understand that reaching out can often be the hardest part and that finding the right fit isn’t easy. I aim to consistently provide an open, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where we can learn from each other.
My work as a 2nd-year MSW student has focused on healing in connection: connection in relationships, connection of past/present/future selves, and mind-body connection. In this space, you can explore areas where you might have felt stuck and areas where you would like to see some change. My focus combines body-based regulation, strength-based approaches, practical problem-solving, trauma-focused techniques, pattern recognition, and play techniques in a space where we can identify what works best for you.
I look forward to hearing how I can help you find the peace you deserve.

Suzita Pacheco, MSW Intern
Do you ever feel disconnected from your body, sexuality, identity, or the way you experience intimacy and relationships? I am passionate about creating a space where conversations about sex, gender, pleasure, trauma, and relationships can happen without shame or awkwardness. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ folks, neurodivergent people, and those exploring kink lifestyles or consensual diverse relationship styles. My style is warm, relaxed, collaborative, and sex positive. I draw from person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, feminist, and strengths-based approaches, adapting our work to what feels useful for you.
As a trans Latina, a neurodivergent person, and a person with a disability, I bring lived experience to this work while recognizing that your story is uniquely your own. Sessions might include open conversation, practical coping skills, exploring relationship patterns, strengthening communication and boundaries, or unpacking messages you have received about your body, sexuality, and identity. I want therapy to be a place where you can show up as yourself without having to explain or defend who you are. I am also here to support your accessibility needs as someone who uses accessibility tools myself. Whether we are talking about sex, relationships, identity, or something completely different, you are welcome to bring your whole self into the room. I am here to help you work through the dysphoria and embrace the euphoria.

Tyson J. Sam, MSW Intern
Yá’át’ééh! My name is Ty. I am Diné and bilingual in Diné and English. As a born and raised New Mexican, I value the diverse cultures, communities, and experiences that make our state unique.
I work with youth and adults, including Indigenous and LGBTQ+ clients and individuals seeking support with substance or alcohol use, trauma, co-occurring concerns, and other life challenges. I use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach grounded in cultural humility and aim to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients feel respected and are able to bring their identities, values, strengths, and lived experiences into therapy.
My clinical approach blends Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My goal is to support clients in exploring challenges, recognizing their strengths, and working toward meaningful goals that fit their lives and values.
