Hi, I’m Mitzy Ruelas (she/her/ella), a 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 specialize in helping adults reconnect with a sense of safety, security, and self-trust, especially after trauma, adversity, or major life transitions. Therapy with me is a supportive space to explore how your thoughts, emotions, and experiences align with the life you want to live.

I commonly support clients experiencing anxiety, attachment and inner child wounds, relationship challenges, depression, low self-esteem, codependency, emotional overwhelm, and avoidance.

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.

Beginning therapy takes audacity and courage. If you’re ready—or simply curious—I invite you to take the next step.
