Welcome! I am Rebecca Lehnen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am in private practice as a psychotherapist specializing in mental health and addiction counseling. I have worked in these fields for over 19 years.
Treatment Philosophy: I primarily utilize the following treatment modalities: mindfulness-based interventions, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My practice is centered on working with individuals ages 13 and older. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds. I am LGBTQIA friendly and I am fluent in Spanish.
Counseling Style: My style of counseling is heavily influenced by mindfulness, which is a non-judgmental, felt sense of whatever is happening in our direct experience. I have been practicing mindfulness since 2000 and continue to be amazed by the power of this simple tool. My approach is also client-centered, an empathic approach to therapy that empowers and motivates clients, developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940s.
