I specialize in treating individuals, families, couples, and children who are suffering from depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties.
Through my commitment to people's wholeness and well-being, I create a supportive therapeutic environment where my clients can feel safe and explore their experiences, thoughts, and feelings, gain clarity and self-understanding, and become authentic in their relationships. My approach combines resolving current issues as quickly as possible with an in-depth understanding of the self. Essentially, therapy is a collaborative process for persons wishing to take back control/responsibility of their lives.

I have effectively provided support to individuals dealing with a partner's addiction, single parents of children with disabilities, and young adults transitioning from the foster care system.
Throughout my life, I have noticed that I draw people to me that have struggled with a history of having instability in their childhoods. What this has looked like is individuals who have had rough childhoods and are now trying to create a better future for themselves and their children. This can be very challenging when you're building a new life and are still carrying the hurt and pain from not feeling cared for or heard as a child. The goal for these individuals is thriving in their lives by having healthy coping skills and healthy relationships.

My client's work becomes possible by disabling self-sabotaging situations, defensiveness, childhood wounds & trauma. My wish is for you to create a positive self-image. In doing so, the work allows you to establish healthy boundaries & create internal control of your world. I have worked with children, teenagers, adults & couples going through life transitions. Ultimately, my clients develop autonomy & positive internal dialogue to grow. I work with couples to find the narrative they are telling themselves around the fulfillment of their most intimate need.

My passion has always been to work with children, adolescents, and families. Witnessing personal growth and progress continues to be extremely rewarding. I strive to embrace individual personal strengths and to nurture those traits through my clinical treatment. I’m also devoted in creating a safe and confidential environment so that you feel comfortable with expressing your true self, without judgement. Therapy can be frightening to many and therefore I like to use skills that strengthen the therapeutic relationship and that meet your personal needs.

Hola and Welcome. My name is Ivet Castañeda Ruiz, I have been a practicing therapist for the last 9 years. Throughout the course of my career I have gained an amplitude of experience working with children, adolescents, individuals and families. I know taking the first step and seeking help may be challenging for some, for that reason I believe in the essence of meeting people where they are. Life is constantly changing around us, the fluidities of life may cause life challenges and obstacles that may result in anxiety, depression, conflict within relationships and/or living inauthentically.

For over thirty years, I have worked with children, adolescents, young and mature adults in a safe and warm environment, utilizing various therapeutic approaches tailored to meet individual needs.
We live our lives in search of happiness, fulfillment, enrichment, and balance through our relationships, families, jobs and career. These areas can become demanding, stressful and even overwhelming. We face challenging situations of life transitions, grief and loss, family dynamics, trauma and abuse. As a result, we experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, and other moods. This is a good time to consider seeking professional help. The journey of psychotherapy can be challenging, yet it is often healing and rewarding.
