Frequently asked questions.
What does a doula do?

How much does a doula cost?
At MECA Therapies, doula services are free for individuals with Medicaid coverage in New Mexico. For families without Medicaid, costs may vary depending on the provider and length of support.
What is a lactation consultant?
A lactation consultant is a certified expert in breastfeeding and infant feeding support. They help with latching issues, milk supply, pumping, and feeding challenges, and provide personalized care in home, clinic, or virtual settings.

Why Families Choose MECA Therapies
Accessible maternal health and pediatric therapy services for New Mexico families.
The largest early intervention provider in New Mexico.
MECA Therapies serves more families across New Mexico than any other early intervention provider. With decades of experience and a deep commitment to child development, we ensure that every child has access to high-quality therapy services, no matter their location or background.
One-stop care from pregnancy through childhood.
Unlike many providers that specialize in only one stage of life, MECA Therapies offers maternal health, early childhood intervention, and outpatient therapy under one umbrella. This continuity of care ensures there are no gaps in family support, from pregnancy through a child’s developmental years.
Focused on access and impact.
We’re committed to reaching families who need support the most—especially in underserved and rural communities across New Mexico. With flexible service models, bilingual providers, and partnerships that reduce barriers to care, we work to ensure that every child and parent has access—regardless of zip code or background.
Community-based, in-home, & virtual care options.
Quality therapy doesn’t have to happen in a clinic. That’s why we bring our services into homes, schools, daycares, and community spaces to make care accessible and effective for children and families. Virtual sessions are also available for added convenience.
