Counseling Practice – Counseling Solutions
Counseling Solutions is located at 1400 Jackie Road, Suite 101, Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87124, and is operated by Steve Zaffer, MA, LPCC and Angela Zaffer, MA, LPCC. The two licensed professional clinical counselors have each been in private practice for more than 20 years and together offer individual therapy for adults and teenagers.
The practice delivers sessions in three formats: in-person at the Rio Rancho office, online via telehealth, and by telephone. This range of formats is intended to accommodate clients with varying scheduling needs or access considerations. The practice frames its work around a collaborative, conversational, and client-centered approach, integrating evidence-based therapeutic methods and teaching clients specific techniques through guided conversations.
Areas addressed in counseling include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. More recently, the practice added hypnotherapy to its service offerings, with stated applications for anxiety, self-confidence concerns, weight loss, and sleep difficulties.
Counseling Solutions operates without front-desk reception staff; both therapists engage directly with clients when scheduling appointments, which the practice indicates supports a more personal intake experience. Contact is available by phone at 505-319-2057 and through email options listed on the website. The practice states it accepts insurance and offers self-pay options, with specific rates and carrier details available on a separate page of the site.
No founding date is stated on the page; the practice notes only that its clinicians have maintained private practices for more than two decades. The practice describes its aim as providing a safe, supportive space where the therapeutic relationship is treated as a central element of care.
