Waitlist for in-person appointments. Hi! My name is Elizabeth I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) committed to assisting you in navigating the challenges in life.

I will support you in this journey and involve you in your treatment each step of the way.

Aloha! It is my firm belief for everyone to find the right therapist that fits them in order to be comfortable and empowered to be their best version of self. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am committed to helping my clients navigate through relational issues, communication approaches, understanding and coping with how ADHD impact their everyday life, and deal with stress or anxiety from significant life changes or events.

I approach therapy as a collaborator. My method is client-centered and humanistic. I aim to accompany my clients in achieving the goals brought into the therapeutic environment with openness, empathy, and compassion. Creating goals in small steps is vital for progress and change. Identifying insecure attachment and dysfunctional patterns will lead to lasting change. My clients can learn to recognize unhealthy cycles and gain a deeper understanding of their attachment styles.

Currently, I do not provide therapy for couples or minors.

I bring 20 years of experience as a social worker across a range of mental health settings, but individual therapy is where I feel most at home. I often work with people navigating life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and that “stuck” feeling. I also use DBT-informed approaches to help build coping skills and emotional balance.

I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over ten years of clinical experience, I am dedicated to providing a compassionate and supportive space for individuals, couples, and families. I approach each client with curiosity and a person-centered focus. With more than forty years of experience as a mental health professional, I bring both depth and perspective to my work.

I am dedicated to providing a compassionate and supportive space for individuals to explore and navigate their person challenges. With a combination of formal education and lived life experiences, I bring a unique perspective to my practice that allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level!

Two decades of clinical excellence.

Dr. Cindy Ruelas-Tafolla's path to becoming a clinician began at age 13 with the sudden loss of her father — an experience that planted the seed of her life's purpose: to be the kind of support she needed during her own darkest moments.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Law and Society from UC Santa Barbara, her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, and her Doctorate in Social Work (DSW) from USC.

Over two decades, she has served as a Medical Social Worker, Case Manager, and Behavioral Health Therapist — bringing doctoral-level depth, board-certified credentials, and genuine compassion to every client she works with.
