COUNSELING LAS CRUCES
Douglas Layer, LPCC
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with a Masters degree in Counseling & Educational Psychology from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. NMSU's counseling program is accredited through CACREP, an independent body dedicated to counseling excellence.
I also earned a Masters degree in Comparative Sociology from Florida International University in Miami with a specialty in gender studies.
I have served as an Intake Coordinator for a 200-bed homeless shelter in Fort Lauderdale, and as a Respite Care Coordinator for the South Florida district before relocating to New Mexico in 2003. I have been counseling in Las Cruces for nearly 10 years, and I have been teaching community college courses for 20 years.
I use the foundations of counseling and sociology to help bring about "enhanced well-being through greater self-awareness". I have experience with a wide range of issues including: depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, trauma, individuals with criminal histories, substance abuse and relationship issues among others.
