About Me
Daniel Blackwood is the founder and “Chief Lantern Holder” of The Evolution Group, Inc. where he oversees a multi-disciplinary team of mental health experts. The clinicians at The Evolution Group are dedicated to helping clients overcome an array of challenges, from substance, gambling and sex addiction to trauma and mental illness.
Comprehensive Care in Majestic New Mexico
Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, amid the high-desert landscape and views of the Sandia Mountains, the Evolution Group, Inc. offers a private counseling practice emphasizing integrity, authenticity, safety, and individuality.
They welcome adults, couples, and families navigating substance abuse, alcohol dependence, and co-occurring mental health issues. The Evolution Group campus comprises multiple 19th-century buildings with tranquil courtyards designed to invite reflection and offers a sense of comfort and connection.
Holistic Approaches to Healing
The clinicians at The Evolution Group understand that there is no one size fits all approach to healing. And because of this they emphasize a whole person approach that includes individual, couples and family support.
Depending on your needs, you can receive support across all faces of your physical, psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing. They offer courses in meditation and mindfulness, boundary setting and gratitude.
If you’re a caregiver, you may benefit from their parenting classes. If you’re facing economic stress, you might find relief in their financial education courses. And if you’re experiencing a health concern, their nutrition counseling can support your overall wellness.
Their services include men and women-only programs as well as tailored care for Indigenous and LGBTQI populations. Telehealth options are available.
