About Suzanne
Suzanne Ornelas is an LPCC with 20 years of professional experience based in New Mexico. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self esteem. Suzanne also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and some specialized areas like first responder issues, hoarding, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Suzanne uses an individual approach that adapts to each person's needs. She focuses on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate conversation. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on, with practical steps discussed together.
In sessions she talks through immediate concerns and helps build skills for day-to-day coping. That can include setting small goals, new ways to respond in difficult moments, and strategies to ease intense emotions. The aim is to make progress that feels doable rather than overwhelming.
For people worried about starting therapy, Suzanne acknowledges how courageous that first step is. She will collaborate on a plan and adjust it over time as needs change. Her style is straightforward and supportive, with attention to the real-life pressures clients bring.
Clients can expect a clear conversation about goals in the first visits and a tailored plan after that. Suzanne encourages open feedback and works with each person to find practical ways to move forward.
