The clinicians at TRS can help these individuals, couples, families, and groups enhance coping skills, resolve trauma, overcome addiction, and increase life satisfaction. TRS’ clinicians offer in-person therapy, telehealth therapy, and mobile counseling services. TRS also offers referrals and full financial assistance for individuals in need of residential treatment for overcoming substance use. |
What we do:Tewa Roots Society’s clinical team highly values meeting clients where they’re at, both figuratively and literally!
If you live within 90 minutes of Nambé Pueblo and are not able to come to us, we will come to you in our state-of-art mobile counseling unit. Priority of services is provided first to Nambé Pueblo Tribal members, second to Indigenous community members, and finally to all community members. TRS can work closely with outside case management, probation, court, and other professionals to ensure quality comprehensive care coordination. |

What to expect:Give us a call anytime!
During your initial conversation with the TRS clinician, it will be collaboratively determined what therapist and modality will work best for you (your partner, family, or group) and an appropriate therapist will be assigned. Scheduling and access considerations will be addressed so that we can meet you where you’re at. Tewa Roots Society values highly engaging and non-traditional therapy methods as appropriate so expect to be met with creativity, kindness, and flexibility. |
What to bring:Make sure to bring some willingness and curiosity. That’s really all it takes to start making progress in your life and therapeutic goals.
TRS clinicians will offer guidance, interventions, and support to you to help you on your way. You and your therapist may plan to hike/walk, play basketball, kayak, paint, garden, or any number of other activities that may require getting dirty, so plan to dress accordingly (if you should decide to engage in these experiences). |
