Treating Trauma with Cultural Awarness
Colibri Integrative Therapy LLC was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide timely, compassionate, culturally responsive mental health care to those who often go without it. Colibri was created to be a place where people feel like they belong. We wanted to build a practice where people feel seen, understood, and supported, not just as clients but as human beings navigating life’s challenges. Inspired by the hummingbird—small yet strong, always moving forward—our vision is to help individuals rise above their pain, find resilience, and embrace their journey toward healing.
Welcome to
Colibri Integrative Therapy
In Aztec mythology, the hummingbird, or colibrí, symbolized resilience, transformation, and spiritual guidance. The Aztecs believed that the souls of fallen warriors returned as hummingbirds, carrying the strength of the sun and reminding the living that even the smallest heart can hold great power. Healing mirrors the journey of the colibrí—finding strength in unexpected places, moving forward despite resistance, and transforming in small, steady beats of the heart. Even the most wounded can rise again, discovering beauty and purpose along the way.
Why Choose Us?
Culturally Sensitive Care
Your story matters to us. We honor each person’s unique journey, understanding that healing is shaped by the layers of your present challenges and the weight of your past experiences. Our approach is tailored to you, taking into account your culture, your community, and the realities you face today.
Accessibility
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality, compassionate care—without barriers. We are here to make sure that mental health services are available to anyone who needs them. We provide services in person and telehealth for people who live in rural areas in New Mexico or or any other reason that otherwise would keep them seeking services.
Whole Person Care
Colibri is a client-centered practice, where your needs come first. We take the time to listen, to understand, and to create a space where you feel valued and supported. Our team is committed to walking alongside you, offering care that is personal, meaningful, and built around the whole person you are—not just your symptoms.
Community Impact
Healing begins to happen when people are supported both emotionally and practically. That’s why we collaborate closely with community agencies and providers to connect our clients to services that address the everyday stressors that can impact mental health—such as financial assistance, food security, housing, and other vital supports.
We help build a stronger network around each person, ensuring they have access to resources that can ease their burdens and support their overall well-being.
Beyond individual care, we are committed to giving back. We proudly contribute to causes that align with our core values, including social justice, inclusion, human rights, and programs that serve underrepresented and underserved communities.
