Dr. Cindy Ruelas-Tafolla, DSW, LCSW, CCM, CWC Licensed in Texas, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida & Wyoming.

As a dedicated and compassionate mental health professional, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and coaching strategies to help individuals achieve their fullest potential. I hold a Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Southern California and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Case Manager, and Certified Wellness Coach.

My approach bridges the best of both worlds—therapy and coaching—allowing for a personalized and integrative path to healing and growth. I specialize in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

My mission is to create a safe and nurturing space allowing clients to process their stories, navigate difficult life challenges, and help them transition to a place of healing and transformation.

Are your thoughts constantly racing, imagining worst-case scenarios, or leaving you feeling mentally exhausted? Do you find yourself burned out at work, overwhelmed by daily stress, or emotionally drained from depression, grief or loss? If so, you’re not alone-and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking to grow personally or professionally, I focus on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where transformation is possible.
