Hi, I’m Kelly Cramer, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado and an LPCC in New Mexico. I have spent much of my career supporting kids, teens, and young adults—both in schools and through telehealth—so I’m comfortable with the real-life pressures that show up at home, at school, and in relationships. I also specialize in supporting adults through trauma, life transitions, and stress. I am a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision at Oregon State University, with a research interest in the intersection of climate change and mental health. I care a lot about doing this work, engaging with thoughtfulness and integrity. I am noted as a therapist who is warm, practical, and genuinely on your team.
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.
Compassionate therapist experienced with all age groups and diverse backgrounds. I am able to develop strong connections quickly. I have experience working with addictions and substance abuse. Active involvement in the community as a facilitator and advocate provides me with an awareness and knowledge for all challenges in life that impact mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Rio Rancho, NM
Finding therapists in Rio Rancho starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy in Rio Rancho for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare counselors in Rio Rancho, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you want from sessions.
Rio Rancho is a smaller city, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger New Mexico markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search to licensed New Mexico therapists while still letting you filter for schedule, specialty, and personal fit. Some people prefer a nearby office, while others value virtual appointments that fit around work, school, or caregiving. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Rio Rancho can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept your plan, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
