Vida Entera is comprised of licensed therapists, as well as student interns, to help meet your needs. Read on to find out more about what we offer and how we might work together.
Psychotherapy
We believe the key to transformative psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship. As humanistic practitioners, empathic understanding, authenticity, and acceptance without judgement are the core of our practice. We believe a person, when given the proper environment, has the potential for positive growth, and we dedicate ourselves to providing the safe container necessary for that growth.

FAQs About Psychotherapy
What is the fee for psychotherapy services? The full fee for therapy is $175 per 50-minute session. Please see the More About Us page for information about insurance coverage. Ask about our accessibility options if you are experiencing financial hardship and your insurance plan is not listed.
Can I video-conference my sessions from anywhere? Psychotherapy can only be provided to clients located within the practitioner’s state of licensure (currently New Mexico only). Coaching and consultation can be video-conferenced from anywhere.
Clinical Supervision
Casey and Chris are both approved clinical supervisors for provisional and Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) and licensed social workers (LBSWs and LMSWs) in the state of New Mexico. With extensive experience in clinical practice and supervision, they are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that empowers new professionals.
Supervisees often report feeling more calm and confident after supervision, enabling them to explore new therapeutic approaches. Our supervision philosophy is rooted in a humanistic approach, much like our therapy practice. We focus on self-awareness, empathy, and authenticity, helping supervisees bring their full selves into their client work.
Our goal is to create a collaborative space where supervisees can process challenges, reflect on cases, and trust their own decision-making. Rather than giving direct advice, we guide them to explore their own thinking, building their confidence as therapists. We enjoy sharing valuable resources—research, tools, and case studies—so supervisees leave each session with both insight and practical knowledge. Our aim is to help supervisees develop a strong foundation for effective, compassionate practice.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a tool that involves relaxing into an inwardly focused state and then utilizing the imagination to create healing, deeper insight, relief from symptoms, and/or change of behavior. This altered state of consciousness is a natural process involving focused attention that occurs every day (when you do things like read or watch a movie).
When in this state, you are still aware and in control, just less distracted and more open to connecting to the healing aspects of the subconscious mind. Hypnosis is a great way to augment other therapeutic tools to increase effectiveness.
Some experiences hypnosis may assist with: anxiety, panic, phobias, trauma, grief, depression, chronic or acute pain, medical and dental procedures, childbirth, and habit disorders (e.g., consuming substances, food, media, etc. or picking, biting nails, and other compulsive behavior).

Can hypnosis help with trauma?
Trauma lies at the root of other issues such as habit disorders, anxiety, and phobias. Hypnosis is effective for addressing wounds to the mind, body, and spirit that result in dysregulation.
Hypnosis makes learning to regulate the nervous system easier. It also allows us to revisit traumatic events in a relaxed and aware state so that we can dissolve shock in the body and re-learn ways of thinking and behaving that we adopted to help us survive.
Our conscious mind does not remember everything that has happened to us, but our subconscious mind-body does. Without awareness, these subconscious memories control our present behavior and how we feel emotionally and physically. Hypnosis can help us access the subconscious mind to discover the root cause(s) of underlying destructive beliefs and accompanying behaviors and relearn thought patterns and behaviors at the subconscious level.
Is it true that hypnosis can help with pain, IBS, and childbirth?
Hypnosis for Pain
Research studies have demonstrated hypnosis as effective for acute and chronic pain. Most cases of chronic pain are mind-body responses to physical or emotional trauma. For more information about the mind-body connection in chronic pain, visit www.thismighthurtfilm.com.
Hypnosis for IBS
Casey is authorized to utilize the North Carolina Hypnosis Treatment Protocol for IBS, which has been demonstrative as effective in 7 research studies. Most patients show long-term improvement in symptoms and psychological well-being, even those unresponsive to medical treatments. The protocol includes 7 sessions over 14 weeks. For details, visit www.ibshypnosis.com.
Hypnosis for Childbirth
Hypnosis can be used to create a comfortable, positive childbirth experience without medication. These techniques promote natural hormones that enhance comfort and bonding and reduce stress for both the parent and baby.
There are many other uses for hypnosis, and we would be happy to discuss how we might use hypnosis in your healing and personal growth.
Educational Coaching
As caregivers recognize that stressful and fear-based learning environments negatively impact children’s well-being—and their ability to learn—the cultural shift toward homeschooling has grown. However, where to start and how to meet each child’s needs at home can be overwhelming. Parents want to prioritize their children’s wellness while giving them the skills for success. Vida Entera’s educational coaching is here to support you on this exciting (and, let’s be honest, stressful) journey. You know it will be worth it, and we know how to get you there.
Vida Entera’s Wellness-First educational coaching includes strengths-based assessments* that provide families insight into how each child’s mind works and clear strategies for tailoring learning to individual needs, all while putting wellness first.
The core of our assessment is powered by MindPrint Learning, the only K12 solution that uses objective cognitive data to teach students how they learn best and provide strategies personalized to students’ learning strengths and needs. Just like a fingerprint, each student has a unique “MindPrint” that provides clear insight into how a student learns most effeciently and what supports they need to succeed. At the core of MindPrint is an hour-long online, self-administered cognitive assessment developed at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.
While most academic and standardized assessments measure what content your child does and does not know, MindPrint tells you why and recommends learning strategies personalized for your student. MindPrint measures the cognitive skills most closely correlated to success in academics and standardized tests: reasoning (abstract, verbal, spatial), executive functions (attention, working memory, flexible thinking), memory (verbal, visual), and speed (processing, visual-motor).
