About Laurissa
Laurissa Bustillos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New Mexico. She has eight years of clinical experience supporting people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family challenges. Laurissa aims to offer a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard and begin to make changes that matter to them.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to find practical steps forward. Sessions focus on uncovering strengths, clarifying goals, and testing small changes that add up over time.
Laurissa draws from several approaches to fit different needs, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. She tailors these tools to the person she is meeting rather than following a single formula.
Many people come to her for help with stress, parenting strains, communication problems, or wounds from past trauma and abuse. She also supports those working through issues of addiction, isolation, guilt and shame, and self-esteem or self-love concerns.
Her work emphasizes clear, practical strategies and steady emotional support. Parents reading on a phone will find short, direct explanations in sessions and steps they can try between meetings.
