By the time I started seeing Dr. Handfield, I had been treated by five different therapists. I had…read morealso been admitted to two different psychiatric hospitals as well. Finally I was referred to Dr. Handfield so I scheduled an appointment and it was the best decision I ever made. At that time, I was very angry, fractured, and disconnected. She listened and was empathetic. It was what I needed to get through some tough times with work and my personal life. She offered different points of view about my situation and it helped with my anxiety. I felt that Dr. Handfield "got me" and when I expressed my concerns or asked questions, she knew exactly what to say. It was healing and it made me feel that I was not alone. I have continued to see her and I feel more confident and whole. I recommend Dr. Handfield especially to those in her new practice in New Mexico. It will be the best decision you ever make.

She is clearly an expert in her field, and I trust her implicitly to guide the work with care, skill, and sound judgment. She brings a calm clarity and steadiness to each session that makes the work feel grounded, purposeful, and honest.

Our sessions feel thoughtful and responsive rather than scripted. She meets each moment as it is and adapts as the work evolves. For me, working with Dr. Humes has been completely transformative.

My journey has been a rough one like so many other people, and I have tried everything to try and make better choices and leave old behaviors behind. There were so many times I thought I would never find the right program or therapist, until now. The 12 week group was a perfect introduction to DBT skills, with course content provided and a well led, easy to understand class. The class was led by two therapists, Stephanie and Vanessa. They are both well versed in DBT, mindfulness, and couldn't be mor friendly, helpful, and understanding. I immediately felt a connection and developed a rapport with Stephanie who is now my therapist going into the comprehensive program. I could not be happier, Ive already had two sessions with Stephanie and am happy to report I finally found the help Ive been looking for! If you are like me and traditional programs are not for you, give Awake and Aware a chance! They really have been a blessing for me. Also, thanks to Sabrina who always greets you with a smile!

After reports of my children being abused at their mother's home emerged, I got a court order to…read morehave my children evaluated by a therapist. We brought the children to a Child's Voice. My children were scheduled with Mindy Romero and seen several times. When I first asked about the process, I was told that I would be kept in the loop about therapy. Several weeks later, I was told that I would have to do a formal records request. Shortly after than, I was asked to not request my children's therapy records. I set a meeting with the agency's director, Tina Bond. When I spoke to Ms. Bond, she revealed that Ms. Romero had observed some initial evidence that my children had been abused, but they would need more time to be sure. Then my children's mother stopped taking them to therapy. Inexplicably, Ms. Bond took their mother's side and discharged my children from therapy without confirming their initial findings, talking to me, or doing any real treatment. It is shameful for a group claiming to represent the needs of children to give up on a case where therapy is so obviously needed. It's also worrying that they try to keep parents from getting the records. Whatever they do, they're doing it inappropriately and deviously. In the process, they are causing injury to the children of New Mexico. It's been several years, and I'm back on the hunt for good child psychologists because the ones at A Child's Voice failed utterly. If you care about your children, avoid this agency.

First they sent me a form to be filled out by a certain date (no later than three weeks, I had completely filled out the forms in two days. About a month later I called them to inquire about my referral. They had no idea what I was talking about. I told them the referral was from Dr Licona. After they did a little research, they found the referral and paper work I completed. All this time not a word, from them, So I scheduled the appointment, the earliest I could get was about 3 months out, I made the appoint. A month before the appointment I received a phone call from GD Psych Services asking if I still wanted the appointment, I said yes. The day of my appointment, they gave me the wrong address, the doors were locked, no one at the reception desk. On my final report they put me down as a female in gender. Can't tell you how up setting this was. I do not do reviews. However I had to on this one. Hope no one ever goes here. Find another provider.

This place should be shut down…read more I was assigned to Ann Akpaka at GDPsychServices and it was honestly dangerous. She forgot what meds I was on in the middle of sessions, confused me with other patients, and gave me medication combos that could've seriously hurt me. I told her they were making me worse -- I was having breakdowns, self-harming -- and she just stayed quiet. Then when I brought up a side effect, she suddenly dropped me as a patient. No help. No plan. Just abandoned me while I was in the middle of a mental health crisis. She barely listens, barely understands what you're saying, and clearly doesn't care. It felt like she was high or zoned out half the time. I've never felt more ignored, dismissed, and mistreated in a healthcare setting. GDPsych should not be allowed to operate like this. If you're in a vulnerable place, this is the last place you want to go.
