Walter "Baruch" Zeichner, LPC, LCMHC

Walter "Baruch" Zeichner is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in New Mexico with forty years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, and a wide range of life changes. He also lists blended family issues among his focus areas and works with individuals and couples.

He began practicing in the early 1980s and learned from a group of therapists using several approaches. That background led him to use talk therapy, creative methods, body-centered work, cognitive techniques, and hypnosis as tools he may draw on in sessions. He is also trained as a career counselor and brings that perspective to work on work and life transitions.

Sessions are guided by what the person wants to achieve. He aims to help people manage symptoms, process past events, and develop practical coping skills. Conversations can include exploring relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and emotional responses that affect everyday life.

Over decades of practice he has helped people handle trauma, addictions, intimacy-related problems, and caregiving stress. He lists additional focuses such as aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, and forgiveness, which inform how he frames treatment goals.

People can expect a range of methods rather than a single fixed style. He uses elements from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as appropriate. The therapist works collaboratively to set goals and adjust methods as needs change.
