Meet Blake, LMSW Clinician

Blake started in our internship program and joined us after graduation we are so excited to have her as part of our team!

Blake chose TCL because she enjoys playing a role in the changes that parents make to improve their and their child’s quality of life. “Let's break some cycles together!” She chose play therapy because as an educator she was always drawn to supporting the children with the most intense behaviors and watching those behaviors improve with the use of positive guidance/NHA approaches. Blake also experienced significant traumas within her own life and would like to be part of others healing journey! Blake Studied at NMHU Facundo Valdez School of social work where she completed her Masters. Blake was raised in Connecticut, lived in New Hampshire for 4 years, and has been in New Mexico for 4 years! Blake has a 12 y.o, husky mix named Madison, a Siamese cat, and a black cat.

Meet Samantha (Sam), LMSW Bilingual Clinician

Sam has been with us for a few months now and has been an amazing addition to the team supporting our bilingual Spanish clients and families!

Samantha chose TCLH because of its values to prioritize children’s wellbeing. Samantha knows TCLH clinicians meet children where they are. This means, clinicians listen and understand the needs of children and adjust treatments to their needs. Samantha is interested in helping grow the strengths clients already have. Samantha received a BA in psychology and criminology. Samantha earned her Master of Social Work at NMSU. With Samantha’s educational background, she understands the complexities of adapting to changes such as jobs, school, families, diagnosis, poverty, culture and trauma and how they relate to each person. As a clinician she can help children and adults navigate life changes and understand their own thoughts and behaviors in a way that supports them. Samantha enjoys learning and is always open to being taught something new by her clients.
