Mental Health Providers in Los Lunas, New Mexico

I attended marriage counseling with this therapist Patricia in March 2025 and had a very disappointing experience. While I appreciated that she allowed me to bring my son, she often shifted her attention to him during our sessions, talking to him and taking up time that should have been focused on our counseling. There were also times when she did paperwork or even took a phone call during our appointment, which felt unprofessional and disrespectful of the time I was there for OUR session She used comments like “men think and women feel,” which didn't feel helpful or accurate. When I expressed wanting my husband to take weekends off so we could have family time, she told me I didn’t appreciate what he was doing which is not true. Instead of offering balance or understanding, I left feeling blamed and invalidated. I’m writing this now because I finally built up the courage after months of thinking about it. The experience has made it difficult for me to trust marriage counseling again because I’m afraid of being dismissed the same way. This was my honest experience.

My son was here for a year. He misses one of the staff that he always confided in. We loved Sandhill. We would have kept him there another 6 months. It was just financially impossible.
