Helping New Mexico children and families grow stronger through therapy, one small step at a time.
Small Steps Child Counseling provides compassionate therapy services for children and families, using play, connection, and proven approaches to help kids feel understood and supported.
Our vision is to strengthen the mental health and social resilience of children and families across New Mexico. Our therapists support families in building stronger relationships, healing from trauma, and creating healthier, more fulfilling lives.
We serve children from the prenatal stage through age 18 and their primary caregivers, using a range of highly effective, evidence-informed approaches. Our work builds on each family’s existing strengths to support growth, learning, and emotional well-being within relationships and community.
In addition to working with school-age children, adolescents, and teens, our clinicians specialize in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health, supporting our youngest clients and their caregivers. We help strengthen caregiver-child relationships through therapies that foster connection, cooperation, and understanding.
INFANTS, CHILDREN, & TEENS
We provide therapy for infants, children, and teens in a safe, supportive environment where they can express themselves freely and feel understood. Using developmentally appropriate approaches like play-based and evidence-informed therapy, we help kids navigate emotions and develop healthy coping skills.
FAMILIES, PARENTS, & COUPLES
We support parents, couples, and families in navigating life’s challenges with greater understanding and connection. Whether you’re facing communication struggles, parenting stress, relationship changes, or life transitions, therapy offers a space to slow down, feel heard, and move forward together with intention.
IDENTITY-AFFIRMING SUPPORT
Providing a safe, supportive space where children and families can explore identity, build confidence, and feel fully seen and accepted. We honor each child’s unique experience and support them in developing self-trust, resilience, and a strong sense of who they are. We create space for curiosity, growth, and connection.
