Daniel Gonzales, Director/LCSW

My personal goals are to provide you with support and empowerment to help alleviate stressors and challenges that have negatively impacted you. I work with clients that have struggled with substance use issues, trauma and adolescents that are in need of support finding their identity and learning tools to manage emotions.

I provide a holistic outlook with therapeutic modalities including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy.

I look forward to meeting with you and being able to walk along side you through your life journey. Remember you do not have to be alone in facing the life stressors and post events that have caused you difficulties. Please reach out and lets find some hope and healing for you and your loved ones.

Juliana Loretto, MSW

New to therapy or want to re-engage? I believe therapy is beneficial to anyone at some point in their lives. Of course, I’m biased and passionate about helping others. I served adults suffering from addictions and co-occurring disorders for the past 7 years. I have expertise in treating mental health issues like anxiety, depression and trauma. I’ve provided treatment for substance use and other compulsive disorders like gambling, internet and porn addition.

My roots run deep in NM. I am Native/Hispanic from Laguna, Acoma and Jemez Pueblo. I use my spiritual foundation as my guidance. Mother earth allows me to experience the spirit of life. I like to use nature in my sessions. I look forward to sharing a friendly, compassionate space for you as we navigate what can be most helpful at this time.

We all need help! Vulnerability can be an uneasy feeling and I offer a calm, inviting place for you to talk. Being allowed to be a part of your journey is something I do not take for granted. The first step is to pick up the 1,000 lb phone and reach out. I love encouraging others because life is full of good and bad stress. Lets go!

Alexandria Rubio, LMSW

I was born and raised in the South Valley and Southwest part of Albuquerque. With strong ties to my culture, I’ve found the importance in trying to bridge the gap between accessibility to therapy and our culture. Maybe you’ve thought about starting therapy and are a little hesitant. We can talk about any questions you may have about the process and what a typical session would look like.

I received my Masters degree in Social Work at NMHU in 2017 with a concentration in Substance Use. I’ve worked with the unhoused population for over a decade, sexual abuse survivors, domestic violence and substance use populations.

Life experience and education have enabled me to work with some of the most challenging but rewarding situations. I dont believe in using cookie cutter approaches and will work with you to sort out the kinks in your life. Want to know more about therapy? Give me a call and I can give you more information.

I am bilingual; speaking both Vietnamese and English. In my free time, I like to enjoy time with my family and friends, traveling. I have a bi-racial teenage daughter who is the apple of my eye.
