Mental health plays a vital role in how one goes through life, forms relationships, and finds a sense of purpose.
Untreated mental health challenges can impact every area of a person’s well-being—both emotionally and physically—but mental health therapy provides the structure and support many people need to move forward.
At Longview Recovery, we offer a compassionate and individualized approach to co-occurring mental health therapy.
In our intimate, wilderness-inspired setting, we support healing through:
As part of a full continuum of care, our therapy services are evidence-based, open-minded, and deeply rooted in real-life support systems.
People often begin therapy when they’re dealing with strong emotions, stress, or a mental health diagnosis.
Mental health therapy gives people the tools to feel more in control and less overwhelmed. It’s not about “fixing” someone – it’s about working through things together.
Some of the most common issues therapy helps with include:
Many people see real improvements after just a few sessions, especially when therapy is matched to their specific needs.
Therapy does more than help with symptoms – it also teaches skills that people can use every day, even when they’re not struggling with intense anxiety or depression.
Some coping skills that therapy helps with include:
Over time, these skills help people feel stronger and more able to bounce back from life’s setbacks, which is a key part of long-term mental wellness.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. At Longview Recovery, we offer a range of co-occurring mental health therapy options to support each person’s needs.
Some therapeutic approaches we utilize in treatment include:
CBT focuses on changing negative thinking patterns that lead to distress while also helping clients recognize harmful thoughts and shift them to more balanced, helpful ones.
It’s a practical form of mental health therapy that gives people real tools to manage daily stress.
Key skills taught in DBT include:
DBT is often useful for people dealing with mood swings, self-harm, or intense emotional stress.
This approach is grounded in understanding how trauma affects the brain and body.
This setting creates space for:
Group therapy can focus on specific issues like grief, trauma, relapse prevention, or emotional regulation.
Mental health doesn’t just affect one person – it often affects the entire family. Family therapy is a type of mental health therapy that brings family members together to work through conflict, strengthen bonds, and improve communication.
This therapy is especially useful when mental health or substance use issues have strained relationships, and common goals include:
Family therapists help guide families through learning how to listen, express their feelings, and solve problems without blame or criticism. Healing as a family helps everyone move forward together, not just the individual in treatment.
Healing isn’t just mental – it’s physical and emotional, too. Longview Recovery includes holistic methods as part of our co-occurring mental health therapy approach.
Some holistic options we offer include:
These practices help clients reconnect with themselves in creative and meaningful ways.
Our locations in Santa Fe and Taos offer nature as part of the healing process. Clients can engage in:
Outdoor activities support physical movement, reduce stress, and offer quiet moments of clarity. Being in nature also helps people slow down and feel grounded, which are key pieces of any recovery journey.
Mental health therapy looks different for everyone, and choosing the right level of care can make all the difference.
Inpatient mental health therapy is the most structured level of care. It provides 24/7 support in a safe, calming environment. This option is ideal for those in crisis or who need help stabilizing before stepping into daily life again.
During inpatient care, individuals receive:
Outpatient mental health therapy offers more flexibility and is designed for individuals who are stable enough to live at home or in transitional housing but still need regular support.
This option allows clients to attend therapy sessions during the week while managing work, school, or family responsibilities. It’s a helpful step after inpatient care or for those who don’t need around-the-clock support.
Choosing the right level of care depends on several factors, such as:
At Longview Recovery, we take the time to understand your needs. Our team will help guide you toward the level of co-occurring mental health therapy that’s right for you – this way, you’re not just getting help, but getting the right help.
Mental health therapy can change lives, both short-term and over time. At Longview Recovery, we’ve seen how therapy can help people regain control, reconnect with others, and build a more hopeful future.
Therapy helps individuals understand their emotions and respond in healthier ways. When someone feels anxious, angry, or overwhelmed, therapy offers tools to stay grounded and handle stress without shutting down or lashing out.
With regular sessions, clients learn how to:
These skills support long-term stability, especially for those managing anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
Mental health therapy also improves how people relate to others. Whether someone is working through family tension or rebuilding trust after substance use, therapy creates space to practice healthier communication.
Healthier relationships make recovery stronger and life more fulfilling.
Many people come to therapy looking for relief from emotional pain. Over time, symptoms like panic, sadness, or trauma triggers can lessen.
Therapy doesn’t erase challenges, but it helps people gain control of how they respond to them. For many, that’s the turning point in their healing journey.
Beyond symptom relief, therapy supports personal growth. People gain insight into their past experiences, learn more about their values, and start to live with more intention.
With continued support, mental health therapy becomes part of a long-term wellness plan – not just a response to crisis.
In New Mexico, there’s a growing need for access to quality mental health therapy. Many individuals and families across the state face emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related challenges, yet options for care can sometimes feel limited or hard to reach.
Rural areas, in particular, often lack enough licensed providers or treatment centers. This can delay care for people who need help now – not weeks or months from now.
That’s where Longview Recovery steps in.
Our locations in Santa Fe and Taos are designed to feel welcoming and connected to the natural world. Clients have access to traditional, co-occurring mental health therapy as well as outdoor-based practices like hiking, mindfulness walks, and equine therapy.
We believe recovery should feel real, not clinical or cold. By working closely with clients and families, we build care plans that fit everyone who walks through our doors.
In addition to Longview Recovery, residents can find support through other New Mexico organizations, such as:
No matter where someone is starting, healing is possible. The key is finding the right support and knowing that you don’t have to do it alone.
