About Associated Behavioral and Trauma Specialties
In the middle of El Paso, Texas, Mesa Street corridor, Associated Behavioral and Trauma Specialties has quietly become a cornerstone for people looking to heal from trauma and rebuild their emotional well-being. It’s not a hospital to a highly intensive clinic. It’s an outpatient pace designed to feel calm, private and safe. They specialize in trauma-informed dual diagnosis care for
people who are managing both substance use and mental health challenges.
Their team looks far beyond surface symptoms to understand the “why” behind the behavior. Because when trauma, anxiety and addiction collide, recovery has to start with the whole person.
A Calm Space for Lasting Change
Gerardo Rosas and Zul Estrada are both licensed professional counselors and lead associated behavioral and trauma specialties. ABTS’s downtown office offers privacy and accessibility with sliding scale options and insurance verification to help keep care within each.
The team here works with adults, families, teens, veterans, first responders, and people living with chronic stress. The therapy team is made up of more than 20 trauma-trained clinicians and they each approach every client with expertise and tailored-made sessions to their specific history and challenges.
Integrated Treatment for Substance Abuse and Mental Health
At Associated Behavioral and Trauma Specialty, clients can access a full range of therapy options, including group sessions and individual and family sessions. Treatment often combines evidence-based modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which help address the lingering effects of trauma while supporting relapse prevention, too.
