My name is Luisa De La Torre. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental health at NMSU and a Bachelor's degree of science in Psychology and a Biology minor at UTEP. I am a bilingualcounselor, Spanish and English.I consider that taking care of our mental health is as important as going to any other doctor. I understand there are still many stigmas around mental health. Thus, I highly value when people take the first step to seek mental health services to improve their quality of life. Working on oneself is not easy, it is a lifelong journey that takes time, patience, empathy and self love in order to identify and change maladaptive behaviors and to break cycles that no longer help us. Therefore, I make sure to provide a warm, non-judgemental and safe environment where clients can safely process their challenges and reconnect with their strengths, values and beliefs. I have an eclectic approach to every client as their circumstances and goals need to be addressed in a personalized way.
