About
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner who has walked alongside people facing trauma, instability, and complex mental health needs, I approach care with deep empathy and a commitment to meeting you exactly where you are.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 8 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I work with clients experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and significant life transitions. Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help them gain clarity, stability, and a path forward.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Walden University. My approach integrates evidence-based medication management with a collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and holistic perspective. I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs and goals while prioritizing safety, understanding, and empowerment throughout care.
Seeking support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, patience, and respect. Together, we will work toward relief from symptoms, improved coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change when you are ready to begin.

I have spent years walking alongside individuals and families in their most vulnerable moments, and that work taught me that people deserve to be truly seen, not just helped.
I am Mallory, a licensed social worker and therapist with a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) and a Doctor of Social Work (D.S.W.). My path into this work was shaped by a genuine belief that every person deserves compassionate, individualized care—and that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful vehicles for change. I've worked across clinical, educational, and community-based settings, which has deepened my understanding of the social, structural, and personal forces that shape mental health.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based frameworks, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—I tailor my work to what each client actually needs, drawing on both advanced clinical training and years of close listening.
Whether you're in the depths of a depressive episode, exhausted by anxiety, learning to live with a bipolar diagnosis, or simply carrying more than you should have to carry alone—you deserve support that takes you seriously. When you're ready, I hope you'll reach out and schedule an appointment. That first step is often the hardest, and I'll meet you there.

Christine Fatherree, LCSW, brings over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, working in a variety of roles to support adult clients seeking growth, healing, and clarity. She is deeply committed to helping individuals explore their concerns and make meaningful changes in their lives.
Christine works with adults experiencing depression, grief, life transitions, and trauma (though not military-related trauma). She understands that beginning therapy often starts with important questions—and that exploring those questions can lead to real transformation. Her therapeutic approach is tailored to each client’s needs, drawing from a range of evidence-based practices including traditional Talk Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR). This flexible approach allows Christine to offer personalized support that meets you where you are.
Christine is genuinely curious about your story and provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore both your inner world and life circumstances. While therapy can be challenging, it can also bring moments of insight, relief, and even humor.

My main approach to working with depression is a combination of inner regulation work, trauma work, and self-care/gratitude work. I find this is the best way to work with depression, as it deals with many of the common causes of depression and allows clients to fully build tools, skills, and understanding of their depression, all while getting support and building a sustainable change in their life that allows them to manage their depression and eventually minimize or eliminate it.
In counseling for depression, I help clients build affirmations skills, positive neuron formation, self-care skills, emotional understanding, emotional resilience skills, meditation/mindfulness, additional coping skills, and breathing skills.
I know a client is making progress with depression when symptoms start to lessen and the clients begin to express more hope and confidence in their ability to move forward, as well as when I see an increase in energy and activity.
Outside of therapy, clients should focus on their current homework and large amounts of self-care in order to maintain the emotional energy needed to work through depression.
To prepare for a first session, open yourself up to the idea that things may be uncomfortable but also work to know that you are here to get support and it is nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of. Many people struggle with this and its ok to need help!
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Albuquerque, NM will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
