Erin (Elena) Green she/her, CMHCI  

Affinity based mental health care focuses on alignment between client and counselor. For me, alignment between people means honoring that every person should feel welcome and wanted no matter who they are. I believe that feeling confident comes from having our needs honored. My therapeutic approach is focused on you and your unique needs, and how to identify your needs and speak about them confidently to the people in your life. I specialize in geek therapy, play therapy, and internal family systems therapy approaches. Geek therapy is an approach to mental healthcare that turns exploration of special interests into opportunities for connection and healing. I have a foundation in cognitive behavioural therapy that allows me to teach my clients coping skills and tools for the biggest, most demanding challenges that come up during times of adversity. Healing starts at home, I help my clients find a home within themselves that they can always go back to.

I received my bachelor of arts in English Lit from The University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Tx. I studied at New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) for a masters clinical mental health counseling. NMHU is an approved member of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. My training at NMHU included a special focus on clinical assessment and diagnosis of mental health related disorders.  

I have experience working with children, teens, and adults. I offer in person and telehealth counseling for individuals, partner(s), families, and group counseling. I work with people from all backgrounds, any person seeking counseling is welcome in my office. I strive to be multiculturally curious everyday of my life. I offer counseling in both English and Spanish. I have experience treating ADHD and related neurodivergent challenges, grief and loss, complex trauma, relationship/attachment style challenges, postpartum depression, and body reclamation for survivors of physical trauma.
