Debra Vega-Cowen, LPCC

Hello and welcome. My name is Debra, I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of New Mexico. I have worked with individuals, couples and families seeking counseling for over 15 years, both online and in my private practice.

I enjoy helping individuals achieve what they want in life. Whether it is to have a better relationship/marriage, learn how to deal with depression, have less anxiety or parenting struggles, I can help. I love helping people to be the best versions of themselves and giving them the tools to help with varying hurdles in their life.

Life can be extremely tough sometimes, and seeking counseling is a valiant first step. We all go through peaks and valleys, but it’s so much better to go through those valleys when you have the right tools in which to deal with the hard times. I hope to be able to help you with your journey.

In addition, I have experience working with adults, young adults and teenagers who may be experiencing a multitude of concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment concerns, relationship conflict, trauma, career issues, mood disorders, academic concerns, sexual assault, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, and motivation concerns. I utilize a human-centered and person-centered approach to my counseling style, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. My communications style is warm, inviting, and I will meet my clients where they are currently in their journey.

My hope is to help my clients identify goals, process past experiences that may be a barrier to reaching their present goals, and walk alongside them on their voyage to make positive, helpful changes in their life. I passionately believe positive change is possible, by making huge leaps or baby steps. I look forward to working with you in helping you to reach your goals!
