Meet our team

Dedicated Advocates for Veteran Stability, Well-Being, and Progress

The strength of the New Mexico Veterans Integration Centers lies in our team. Based in Albuquerque, our case navigators, counselors, peer specialists, and program staff work together to provide comprehensive support for veterans and their families across the state.

​

Experienced Advocates & Dedicated Professionals

​

We are a multidisciplinary group of case managers, licensed counselors, peer specialists, art therapists, and administrative staff.

​

Together, we bring decades of professional experience in social work, mental health, and non-profit leadership. A significant number of our team members are veterans from various branches of service or military family members. This personal connection to the military community shapes our internal culture, driving a collaborative workspace built on mutual respect, deep subject-matter expertise, and shared dedication to the VIC mission.
