COUNSELING LAS CRUCES
Douglas Layer, LPCC
My own therapeutic journey opened up a world of possibilities and healing for me, and I believe its potential can do the same for you. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) 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. My sociological background and training affords me the tools to strive toward being a more culturally sensitive counselor with an awareness to the needs of minoritized communities and those with less power in our society.
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 locating to New Mexico in 2003. I have been counseling in Las Cruces for 11 years, and I have been teaching community college courses for over 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, and relationship issues among others.
