Hi, I’m Kelly Cramer, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado and an LPCC in New Mexico. I have spent much of my career supporting kids, teens, and young adults—both in schools and through telehealth—so I’m comfortable with the real-life pressures that show up at home, at school, and in relationships. I also specialize in supporting adults through trauma, life transitions, and stress. I am a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision at Oregon State University, with a research interest in the intersection of climate change and mental health. I care a lot about doing this work, engaging with thoughtfulness and integrity. I am noted as a therapist who is warm, practical, and genuinely on your team.
I'm Russ! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better version of yourself. Asking for help is not easy for many, and you're to be commended for taking that first step. Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate, and everyone needs some help from time to time. I have seen a multitude of clients of all ages with diverse backgrounds. Being a good listener and having a non-judgmental approach are two of the things people ask for most in a therapist. With me, you will get both of those things! I am always present when my clients are experiencing stressful life challenges. My areas of expertise include Depression, Anxiety, Men's Health, Trauma, PTSD, Grief Issues, and Couples Therapy, I am specifically very experienced and specialized with Anxiety Disorders. I use a Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic approach to help my clients bring out the best in themselves, but am also able to help those who may need to be in therapy more short-term with Solution-Focused therapeutic approaches. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a direct approach. I think that growth and progress come from addressing the difficult issues head-on, but we can also make therapy a little more fun along the way.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Albuquerque
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Albuquerque starts with finding identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly names experience with LGBTQIA+ people, gender identity, sexual identity, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, or depression. Provider bios may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or trauma-informed care. These details can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties match what you want support with.
Albuquerque has a meaningful network of mental health professionals, but affirming therapists may still be harder to find in some neighborhoods or schedules. Virtual appointments can expand your options across New Mexico while in-person care may be a better fit if you prefer meeting at a local office. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how directly each bio discusses LGBTQIA+ populations. A clear profile can show how a therapist communicates, who they work with, and what kind of care they provide.
Therapy in Albuquerque can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
