Great to meet you!

Finding your way through the hard stuff takes time, and I know that. I'm Tenelle, a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico, and my mission is simple: helping you build the tools to get through difficult times and live life the way you want to live it. I use CBT and DBT because they work. I show up for people who are ready to do the work, and I'd love to meet you.

My approach to therapy

Sessions are direct and grounded, and I bring genuine warmth and a sense of humor when it helps. I work primarily through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). CBT helps you catch and shift the thoughts that keep you stuck; DBT gives you practical skills for managing big emotions and building relationships that feel stable. We move at a pace that works for you, and if something is not clicking, we adjust.

What you can expect from me

Start with a free 15-minute call so we can get a feel for each other before you commit. In our first full session, we'll talk about what's brought you here, what you're hoping to change, and what working together might look like. Everything happens over video in a calm, private space. By the time we're done, you'll have a clearer picture of the path forward, and a little less weight on your shoulders.
