KaSondra Toney, Ed.S, New Mexico Provider

I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (P-LPC) dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life's challenges with confidence, resilience, and hope. I believe every person has the ability to heal, grow, and thrive when they are met with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My passion for counseling began with a desire to serve others and make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and families. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with youth in educational settings, witnessing firsthand how emotional well-being influences academic success, relationships, and overall quality of life. As a middle school counselor and At-Risk Coordinator, I have supported hundreds of students through personal challenges, crisis situations, behavioral concerns, family transitions, and social-emotional development. Today, my work combines school counseling expertise with clinical mental health counseling, allowing me to offer a holistic, strengths-based approach to care. I believe counseling should be a collaborative process where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Every treatment plan is individualized to meet each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals. For clients who desire it, I also integrate faith and spirituality into the counseling process in a way that respects their beliefs and values. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe exploring difficult emotions and life experiences. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, improve relationships, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're facing anxiety, family conflict, school challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, counseling can provide the support and tools needed to move forward with confidence. I believe healing happens through authentic relationships, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they discover hope, resilience, and renewed purpose. Together, we can work toward creating healthier relationships, greater emotional well-being, and a life that reflects your values and goals.
