Arcelia Ibarra, LCSW — Therapist in New Mexico

Hi there, I'm Arcelia!

I provide therapy services using a Holistic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults looking to find balance and happiness. I like to help people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues.

My approach

My approach is client-centered and strength-based, using Holistic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This approach helps us understand how thoughts, feelings, and behavior can impact each other and allows us to work towards positive patterns.

My communication style

My communication style is clear, calm, supportive, and positive. I like to create a safe space for clients to be able to trust me while they begin their healing journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist as I enjoy helping others. I understand how hard life can be and how mental health struggles can impact our happiness. I enjoy seeing people make changes and reach their goals. I see the value of therapy and of having a respectful and positive client-therapist relationship.

My goals for you

We will work together on goal setting. I want clients to feel comfortable as we collaboratively identify realistic goals that will help improve the previously identified problems or challenges.

Our first session

During our first session, we will start to get to know each other and learn about your history. We will talk about what has been going on in your life and the reasons for coming to therapy. I don't want you to feel pressured and only want you to share what you are comfortable sharing. We will move at your pace.
