Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Pueblo, CO

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.

Do you ever feel unseen, unheard, or like you carried responsibilities no child should have had to? If that resonates, you are not alone. I work with adults and couples who grew up with an emotionally immature parent and still feel the effects on their relationships, self worth, and sense of self. Together we will explore these dynamics and how they shape your life today, and I will help you build the insight, confidence, and self trust to move forward. I also support people through anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, life transitions, and the relationship struggles that come with all of it.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, and families. I have extensive experience supporting clients with autism, adhd, anxiety, big emotions, and challenging behaviors. I also enjoy providing parent support and coaching.

As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, I bring both professional expertise and lived empathy to my work. I offer telehealth (primary) in-home, and community-based sessions so I can meet clients where they feel most comfortable.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who believes in the infinite capacity of humans to move through and beyond experiences that have brought us down. I bring my real self to the therapy space. I'm a therapist who personally understands the struggle. My clients work with me because they want somebody authentic and down to earth.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will truly listen, validate your experience, and also be honest with you when you need a different perspective, you may be in the right place.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a trauma-focused approach and a genuine belief that healing happens when you feel both safe enough to be vulnerable and supported enough to grow. I work with a wide range of concerns, including women’s issues, sexual trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, sex and intimacy concerns, relationship challenges, shame, self-esteem, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but can’t seem to change.

My path to becoming a counselor was personal and unconventional. After raising three children and building a career in government, I went back to school and began a new chapter in mental health. Starting over taught me something I now bring into my work with clients: you are not defined by where you’ve been, and it is never too late to create a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Whether you’re recovering from trauma, struggling in your relationships, questioning your identity or direction, carrying shame from your past, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a place to make sense of it all.

My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling more understood, more empowered, and more connected to yourself—not because I have all the answers, but because we’re figuring them out together.

I believe in a holistic focused approach to therapy. I incorporate mind, body and spirit to achieve a regulated emotional state and balance in one's life. I believe that client's are the experts in their own life and I have a variety of therapeutic techniques in my toolbox to accommodate each individual to find their unique healing path.

I specialize in emotional support for teenagers, young adults and adults who are struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I support clients in developing a clear identity and understanding of their personal story, purpose and self-worth. I specialize in women in pregnancy, postpartum, and post termination.

If you are looking for support I would love to hear from you.

Hello, I have been a licensed psychologist for the past 7 years. I provide a safe, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space where clients feel seen and heard. My approach integrates evidence-based, strength-focused therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Process, and Solution-Focused techniques. Together, we’ll work to help you navigate life transitions with resilience and self-compassion.

I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and warmly welcome clients from diverse backgrounds.

I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.
