Hello! My name is Ness (Vanessa) Ruvalcaba. I am a Spanish and English speaking licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I work with individuals and families who are are needing some extra support understanding or creating change in their lives. I specialize in trauma informed care, PTSD, anxiety and depression, self harm, family dynamics and various other issues and needs. I also work with individual around resolving conflict, improving communication, processing difficult experiences, and various other experiences. At this time, I do not work with couples.
Trauma is complex and not a one size fits all. We will explore how to cope or how past experiences and wounds continue to show up and create a negative impact. Together we can work on resolving conflict, improving communication, processing difficult experiences, or help gain insight on what is going on, or recognize and change problematic patterns.
You don't need to know why you are reaching out, just that you know there is something you you'd like to better understand or want change. I am excited for the opportunity to hold with you your experiences and your story and help you achieve the goal you want to reach.
