Claudia Higuera Alvarez, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New Mexico, providing psychotherapy, assessment, and diagnosis for a range of mental health concerns.

I work with adolescents (14 and over) and adults and have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and strengths-based, with a focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood.

I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I tailor treatment to each client’s individual needs, experiences, and goals, with an emphasis on building resilience, developing healthy emotional regulation skills, and strengthening boundaries and coping strategies.

Services are available in both English and Spanish. I am committed to providing culturally responsive care and supporting each client as they work toward meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to walk alongside clients throughout the therapeutic process while helping them recognize their strengths, build confidence, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
