I want all my clients to know that they are safe to discover whatever they want to learn about their lived experiences. Working with me is very autonomous and rooted in self-determination. You will act as the guide along your healing journey. I am happy to serve as a resource center, grounding presence, and conversationalist throughout your journey. I will always encourage you to show up as you are and trust that the rest will follow as we untangle the many strings that make up our mind, heart, and lived experiences.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Los Lunas, NM


Raised biracial/bicultural, I knew the feeling of wondering how and where I fit in. This led to a lifetime of curiousity of what makes us behave the way that we do and how to create the life we desire. After an initial career in International Consulting, I knew that helping others to embrace life with joy and purpose was my true path. I entered the Gestalt Institute, gained a Masters in Counseling and ultimately a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I find each individual to be unique and special so the work is always client-centered. Together we can explore your strengths and expand skills to meet any problems you may be facing.

Kelly Cramer

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


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.
