Clinical Social Work Practice – Alpenglow Counseling
At 3 Caliente Road, Suite 10 in Santa Fe, New Mexico 87508, Alpenglow Counseling is a mental health practice operated by Alanna Sherstad, LCSW, PMH-C. Sherstad holds both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), and provides services to clients in New Mexico and Montana through both in-person and online sessions. Online sessions are available to clients in both states; in-person appointments are offered for New Mexico clients.
The practice specializes in perinatal mental health, fertility and infertility counseling, trauma, and parenting support. Detailed clinical focus areas include pregnancy loss, infant loss, stillbirth, postpartum depression and anxiety, infertility and fertility treatments, birth trauma, childhood abuse and neglect, sexual violence, and interpersonal violence. The practice also addresses identity loss related to the transition into parenthood, nervous system regulation, and a broad range of parenting challenges that arise at different developmental stages.
Therapeutic modalities described on the site include perinatal-specific Internal Family Systems (IFS) and perinatal-specific EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), both adapted to address the clinical realities of the perinatal population. The practice’s stated orientation is toward strength-based solutions and creating a safe therapeutic space for clients navigating major life and identity transitions.
