Throughout our lives we find ways to survive and protect ourselves. And though it may work for a time, at some point, those patterns stop being effective. We aren’t able to block out the pain anymore and the ways we learned to survive are getting in the way of how we want to live. Even when we realize this and we want to change, we find ourselves stuck in these old patterns and can’t seem to think our way out. This is where trauma therapy comes in. From a place of compassion and curiosity, we begin to understand where these patterns come from. Everything we struggle with has a story to tell. Often there are parts of us that are stuck in the past and react out of fear and pain. Once we heal these parts of ourselves, we get the freedom to let go of the old patterns and find new ways of being in the world that feel safe, supportive and empowering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/ab7c9c90-1553-4ef5-b477-edfbb7f155f6/IFS+Certification+Badge.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/02f404b4-a0a7-4621-9a9f-5d367f941e41/EMDR+Certified+Therapist+Badge About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/5c91aa5a-3e7e-4063-b70f-a6e24051d448/EMDRIA+Consultant+Badge About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/7ec3264b-29bd-480a-aadd-4241aa5fac0d/CCTP+Badge.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/a6e0a1cc-19d5-467c-924e-5d8fd3d2d749/IMG_6318.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/4a735ee3-215a-4a36-975d-e9202a3cf6a8/IMG_1992.jpg About https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/404-page daily 0.75 2023-06-28 https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/traumatherapy daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/1683403452165-JZ217KZPAKT1SDK4EMLR/minh-pham-OtXADkUh3-I-unsplash.jpg Trauma Therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/whattoexpect daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/7806c691-0e70-4a5a-9af9-8bfa52bb647d/IMG_5927+2.jpg What to Expect - Starting therapy takes courage. Whether you've been thinking about it for a while or something recently pushed you to finally reach out, I'm glad you're here. Whatever brought you to this page, you don't have to have it all figured out before we begin. Here's what the process actually looks like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/1777666667417-SKNSK6SV8SP7A1MVTT6I/unsplash-image-goholCAVTRs.jpg What to Expect - The Free Consultation Call Before we schedule anything, we'll have a brief phone call — usually 15 to 20 minutes. This is a chance for you to tell me a little about what's going on, ask any questions you have, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. There's no pressure and no commitment. If I'm not the right therapist for what you're looking for, I'll tell you honestly and help point you toward someone who is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/3fb848a3-5f8c-4589-935d-1c70cd1d15d6/mitchell-hartley-3llQmBfV4gM-unsplash.jpg What to Expect - Your First Session The first session is mostly about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, a bit about your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. You won't be expected to dive into the hardest parts of your story right away — we move at a pace that feels safe for you. Some people leave the first session feeling lighter, like something has already shifted just from being heard. Others feel a little raw or uncertain. Don’t worry, this is normal too. However you are feeling, you will have a clearer sense of what working together looks like and whether this feels like the right fit for you. Sessions are 60 minutes and held in-person at my Santa Fe office or via a secure HIPAA-compliant video platform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/88f82c3c-3da3-4a15-bf35-c13ef3818d5f/unsplash-image-6nsGg3Iw37c.jpg What to Expect - The Work Itself I specialize in trauma therapy using EMDR and IFS — two approaches that have been shown to help people heal in deep and lasting ways. What makes these methods different from traditional talk therapy is that you don't have to share your trauma in detail for healing to happen. We focus less on retelling the story and more on what that story left behind — the feelings, beliefs, and patterns that are still showing up in your life today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/5d3b39b8-d742-4d8e-9742-9f567db1466a/unsplash-image-eydQ76ieKro.jpg What to Expect - How long will it take? Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this. Some people meet their goals in a year or two. Others find value in ongoing, longer-term work. What I can tell you is that many clients start to feel meaningful shifts within the first few months, once we move into the deeper work. Throughout the process, I’ll check in with you regularly about progress and I’ll be honest and direct if I think something needs to change. However long we work together, I will be by your side all the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/1777680242286-NLC30WJSP45L1F121KWP/when+we%27re+done What to Expect - And when we’re done… You can expect to have processed and released traumatic memories and emotions, repaired attachment wounds, and created more internal harmony and attunement. You may notice a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion, more confidence and clarity in your decisions, improved relationships and communication with others, and a reconnection with a sense of safety and hope for the future. https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/4fd6ab01-60fe-4fd4-81d9-d1d938dc5e1e/NMCAL-and-988-Logo.png Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/ifs daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/a83d19c4-624e-4b54-82ff-c691abba583e/toa-heftiba-XIAJd448FnY-unsplash.jpg IFS - How is IFS therapy different than other forms of counseling? IFS therapy is unique in that it recognizes that all of our “unhealthy” or difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are simply a sign that we are hurting. Deeper Understanding: Rather than just focusing on changing our thoughts or behaviors, IFS dives deep into the reason WHY these patterns exist and how they may be no longer serving us. It is at this level that we begin to find real healing and hope for a way forward. Self-Compassion: Our “parts” are usually the youngest and most vulnerable pieces of who we are. They feel afraid, misunderstood, hurt, and overwhelmed. With this in mind, the goal of IFS is to meet these “parts” with compassion and to offer them kindness, support, validation, and safety, so they can get their needs met in a healthier way. Self-Leadership: With IFS, clients develop their own self-leadership and do not become as dependent on the therapist for ongoing support. Once clients understand their own system, they are empowered to continue to work on their own and often move on from therapy more quickly than traditional talk therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/ab7c9c90-1553-4ef5-b477-edfbb7f155f6/IFS+Certification+Badge.png IFS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/02f404b4-a0a7-4621-9a9f-5d367f941e41/EMDR+Certified+Therapist+Badge IFS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/5c91aa5a-3e7e-4063-b70f-a6e24051d448/EMDRIA+Consultant+Badge IFS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/7ec3264b-29bd-480a-aadd-4241aa5fac0d/CCTP+Badge.png IFS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/emdr daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/02f404b4-a0a7-4621-9a9f-5d367f941e41/EMDR+Certified+Therapist+Badge EMDR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/5c91aa5a-3e7e-4063-b70f-a6e24051d448/EMDRIA+Consultant+Badge EMDR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/faq daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/insurance daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/consultation daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/3ba8a2d0-92ea-4ba3-905a-549d05e6712a/Syzygy-Logo-Primary-Color.webp IFS and EMDR Consultation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/ab7c9c90-1553-4ef5-b477-edfbb7f155f6/IFS+Certification+Badge.png IFS and EMDR Consultation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/5c91aa5a-3e7e-4063-b70f-a6e24051d448/EMDRIA+EMDR+Consultant+Badge IFS and EMDR Consultation https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/syzygy-consultation daily 0.75 2026-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/3ba8a2d0-92ea-4ba3-905a-549d05e6712a/Syzygy-Logo-Primary-Color.webp Syzygy Consultation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/ab7c9c90-1553-4ef5-b477-edfbb7f155f6/IFS+Certification+Badge.png Syzygy Consultation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/5c91aa5a-3e7e-4063-b70f-a6e24051d448/EMDRIA+EMDR+Consultant+Badge Syzygy Consultation https://www.springlakecounselingnm.com/home daily 1.0 2026-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6456b2936837b03c7254781c/3d1c3ea5-a83e-4d82-87c0-2b5026049972/Celia_Professional_8+2.JPG Home - MEET CELIA I believe that as human beings we are incredibly resilient, but weathering the storms of life can be difficult and sometimes we need more support.
