Audrina Modugno
Therapist Intern
Audrina is an intern with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. She is advancing her education by pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a minor in Integrated Behavioral Health at New Mexico State University. Her passion for mental health stems from her upbringing on the Mescalero Apache reservation, where access to mental health services is limited. This background gives her a unique insight into Native American culture and the challenges faced in rural areas. Audrina brings valuable clinical experience working with diverse populations, including school counseling for elementary and middle school students. Though New Mexico has been her home for most of her life, her connections to the Military and her love for travel have fueled her desire to explore different states and countries by immersing herself in various cultures. When she's not engaged in her studies, Audrina enjoys outdoor adventures with her family and dogs, hitting the gym, fishing, hunting, or simply relaxing with a Netflix binge. After graduation, she plans to stay around Alamogordo and work towards her independent licensure, but her adventurous spirit means she might surprise us all with where she ends up next.
Kiersten C
Therapist Intern
Hi, I’m Kirsten, a Counseling Intern currently working toward my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I hold dual Bachelor’s degrees in Anthropology and Communication, which have provided me with a rich understanding of human behavior and cultural dynamics.
My therapeutic approach integrates mindfulness and relational principles to support personal growth and healing. I help clients stay focused on the present moment and accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment, while also emphasizing the importance of relationships in overall well-being. By exploring how past and present relationships influence expectations and experiences, I assist clients in finding meaningful connections and healing. I focus on helping clients understand and accept their difficult feelings, replace negative behaviors with constructive ones, and develop skills for setting boundaries and resolving conflicts. I aim to support clients in navigating the complexities of their emotions and relationships, fostering resilience and positive change.
Before pursuing counseling, I traveled extensively which enriched my perspective and deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and experiences. Additionally, I have experience working in a school setting with students, which has enhanced my ability to connect with individuals of different ages and backgrounds. Outside of my professional life, I’m an avid reader and enjoy spending my free time doing crafts, hiking, or riding my horses. These activities offer me a sense of balance, creativity, and connection, which I bring into my counseling practice.
