Life dissatisfaction

Jan Stone, a licensed New Mexico clinical counselor, offers telehealth counseling rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients address persistent feelings of life dissatisfaction. Many people experience a quiet sense that something is missing—despite outward success, stable relationships, or fulfilling careers. As an experienced Albuquerque counselor, Jan works with clients to explore the inner conflicts and emotional burdens that may be blocking their sense of meaning, purpose, or joy. Her thoughtful, IFS-informed approach supports clients across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces who are ready to understand their dissatisfaction and reconnect with a deeper sense of self.

In IFS therapy, Jan helps clients identify and relate to the inner “parts” of themselves that may be caught in patterns of self-criticism, overachievement, emotional numbing, or disconnection. These parts often develop early as strategies for coping with pain, insecurity, or unmet needs. Rather than pushing these parts away, Jan guides clients in creating a compassionate relationship with them—inviting curiosity, not judgment. As clients begin to hear and heal these parts, they often discover hidden values, longings, and capacities that have been buried beneath dissatisfaction. This self-discovery is essential to sustainable change, and it’s central to Jan’s work as a telehealth therapist within the broader New Mexico mental health community.

Jan’s telehealth services make therapy accessible to clients seeking support for life dissatisfaction, whether they are looking for an Albuquerque therapist or a Las Cruces therapist. Virtual sessions allow for consistent, flexible care, especially important when clients are working through feelings that can be hard to name or prioritize. Jan creates a grounded and emotionally safe space where clients can explore their discomfort honestly—without pressure to fix or perform. This steady presence, delivered through telehealth, allows for deep, gradual transformation.

Through IFS, Jan helps clients move beyond simply coping with dissatisfaction and into a space of possibility. Her work is a valued resource within Albuquerque mental health, Santa Fe mental health, and Las Cruces mental health communities. By guiding clients to access their inner Self—a calm, clear, and compassionate presence—Jan supports them in creating more authentic, aligned lives. Her approach goes beneath surface-level symptom relief to help clients discover what truly matters to them and how to begin living it.
