Abrazos envisions a community where Latino, Hispanic and Native American individuals and families have easy, seamless and affordable access to behavioral health and counseling services.  Abrazos envisions a workplace where it’s culture makes staff feel happy, challenged, supported and wanting to keep coming to work. 

Abrazos provides culturally responsive mental health services to our communities of color in Northern New Mexico and reduces access issues by delivering therapy in the office and the home, and by eliminating language and cultural barriers. Abrazos accepts Medical insurances (including Medicaid) while also providing fee-free services for undocumented, uninsured or under-resourced community members.

Abrazos seeks to recruit and retain culturally aware and/or bi-lingual therapists and social workers by creating a thoughtful, open and positive agency culture where staff are paid well and supported to do great work that they are passionate about. 

Abrazos is developing a culturally relevant training program and curriculum to not only train and expand its own therapists’ skills but also to share our knowledge with partner agencies.
