Pastoral Counseling Center

Our Mission

Psychotherapy & Pastoral Counseling Associates (PPCA) is dedicated to providing compassionate, integrated mental health care that considers both psychological well-being and spiritual growth. We believe that healing and recovery can be profoundly enhanced when addressing the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. Our therapists understand that each individual's journey is unique and strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges, discover their inner strength, and cultivate a sense of wholeness.

Our Services

PPCA offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of our community. We serve individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and older adults. Our therapists are trained in various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based techniques. We specialize in working with individuals experiencing a wide spectrum of challenges, such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, stress management, and life transitions.

Many of our therapists possess advanced training and expertise in specialized areas, such as play and sand tray therapy for children, marriage and family therapy, and group therapy. We understand the importance of cultural sensitivity and offer bilingual services to ensure accessibility to all.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

We recognize the profound interconnectedness between our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Research consistently demonstrates the benefits of integrating faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process. For those who seek it, we offer opportunities to incorporate religious or spiritual practices into counseling, helping clients connect with their deeper values and find meaning and purpose in their experiences.

At PPCA, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where individuals feel valued, heard, and empowered to embark on their healing journey.

Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to making our services as accessible as possible. We accept most major New Mexico insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Sliding scale fees are available for those experiencing financial hardship, ensuring that access to care is not limited by economic circumstances.
