About Mitzy D. Ruelas, M.S, AMFT 131034

Welcome! I’m Mitzy D. Ruelas, a dedicated bilingual Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #131034) passionate about helping adults reconnect with their sense of security and safety. My goal is to create a compassionate space where you can explore  how you experience your life and whether it’s in alignment with you.

My Approach to Therapy

I primarily support individuals who have lost trust in themselves due to traumatic experiences, adversity, and significant life events. Traumatic experiences and adversity often manifest as anxiety, inner child wounds, attachment issues, relationship problems, depression, low self-esteem, codependency, emotional outbursts, and avoidance.

I use an integrative, trauma-informed, and culturally centered approach to foster empowerment, safety, and authenticity, honoring the mind-body connection. In therapy, I incorporate liberation psychology, relational trauma, attachment theory, somatic experiencing, humor, metaphors (sometimes too many) and personalismo.

Embark on Your Healing Journey

Starting therapy takes courage and a willingness to face your challenges head-on. If you’re ready to take that step or seeking the strength to begin, I invite you to connect with me. Together, we can navigate your path to healing and personal growth.
