About Mitzy D. Ruelas, M.S, LMFT

Hi!

I’m Mitzy Ruelas (she/her/ella), a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #158894) based in San Diego, offering online therapy to adults throughout California. I’m so glad you’re here—choosing to care for yourself is a meaningful and courageous step.

I commonly support clients experiencing anxiety, attachment and inner child wounds, relationship challenges, depression, low self-esteem, codependency, emotional overwhelm, and avoidance. I specialize in intergenerational trauma, Latinx/e therapy, and I am training in Brainspotting (a trauma-informed, neurobiological based therapy).

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, honoring the mind–body connection. I draw from attachment theory, somatic experiencing, narrative therapy, liberation psychology, and relational trauma work, while also incorporating humor, metaphors, and personalismo.
