Female Therapist Available
I am Dr. Vicki Handfield, and I provide individual therapy for adults at my office located at 1100 Alameda Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87114. I do not see children, teens, or couples. My focus is entirely on individual adult therapy, so that I can provide consistent, personalized care.
Therapy with me is flexible and responsive. While we may start with a clear focus, new experiences and emotions often come up during the process. I adjust sessions to address what feels most urgent while still connecting it to the deeper work we are doing together. Therapy is not fixed or rigid. It adapts as your life changes.
For clients experiencing panic attacks during the day, I often help explore what may have triggered the episode. Often, we can identify patterns or signals that appear before panic begins. This can help you recognize it earlier and reduce or even prevent it from fully setting in.
Commonly Asked Questions About Female Therapists

Yes. I specialize in therapy for adults. I do not see children, teens, or couples. My practice is focuses on individual adult therapy, allowing me to provide consistent, personalized care.

Is therapy structured or flexible?
Therapy with me is flexible and adapts to your needs. While we may begin with clear goals, new concerns often come up during the process. I adjust sessions to address what is most important in the moment while still connecting it to ongoing work.
What happens if I experience panic attacks?
If you experience panic attacks during the day, we explore what may have triggered them. Many times, we can identify early signs or patterns that show up before the panic builds. This can help you recognize it sooner and reduce or prevent it from fully developing.
