Hello! I'm Sarah, and I'm a board-certified psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner, with additional certification in addiction medicine. I've been working in mental health for the past seven years, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I specialize in treating women's issues such as post-partum and perinatal mental health, menopause, and PMDD. My practice also serves women and girls experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, life changes, and much more.
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.
I provide personalized mental health care for adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. My focus is helping you feel better, think more clearly, and regain control of your daily life.
I offer comprehensive evaluations and medication management through secure telehealth across Texas, with in-person availability in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and long-term stability.
Hello, I'm Liliana! With over two and a half years of experience across residential and group practice settings, I have worked with individuals navigating addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and adjustment disorders. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, and I am trained in EMDR — an evidence-based approach for processing difficult experiences. I work with adolescents (15+), young adults, adults, and older adults, and I bring a comforting, reliable, and genuinely understanding presence to every session. My goal is for you to feel safe and supported from the moment we connect.
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental and emotional obstacles and believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience. With a focus on sexual trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, and serious and persistent mental illness, I am equipped to provide comprehensive mental health services to adults of any age. In addition to my clinical work, I am an animal lover and avid reader, and I bring these passions into my therapeutic approach. I welcome clients from all walks of life, including those who practice polyamory, open relationships, or other non-traditional relationship dynamics. Kink-friendly.
I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.
Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and a whole-person approach to healing, I'd be honored to support you on your journey. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and five years of clinical experience. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're facing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a space where you can safely explore what's happening beneath the surface and move toward lasting change.
