Grief counselors and therapists in Cheyenne, WY

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 really believe in people's ability to find solutions to their challenges. I use neuroscience principles and offer sincere, accepting care to my clients. I am trained in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) and in Collaborative Problem Solving. I actively use the modalities of: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also implement several aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Experiential Therapy.

I’m a licensed professional counselor with more than 30 years of experience working with adults and individuals facing complex mental-health and behavioral challenges. My background includes community mental health, schools, correctional mental health, substance-use treatment, and work with veterans and underserved populations.

My counseling style is straightforward, conversational, practical, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when we can have an honest conversation about what is happening in your life and then work together on realistic changes that fit your situation.

I have a particular interest in gambling addiction and behavioral addictions, including helping people understand the patterns behind compulsive behaviors and develop strategies for managing urges, triggers, thoughts, and relapse risk. I also work with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and other behavioral and mental-health issues.

I draw from CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and relapse-prevention strategies, adapting the approach to the individual rather than relying on one method for everyone.

You don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy before starting. We can begin by identifying what's going on, what you would like to change, and what practical steps can help you move forward.

My goal is to provide a safe, respectful environment where you can be yourself, talk openly, and make meaningful progress.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with training in both medication management and psychotherapy. My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I have experience treating concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and substance use. I believe care should feel collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you feel more stable and confident in your daily life.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with a background in social work. I have a master's in clinical social work from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay. I have experience working in outpatient therapy and medical settings, which has shaped my grounded and integrative approach to care. I work with adults and children navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, professional stress, grief, and patterns that feel difficult to shift. I also support individuals experiencing self-doubt, boundary concerns, emotional overwhelm, and relational dynamics that leave them feeling unseen or unheard.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who welcomes clients ages 14 and older. I am a mother and retired Army veteran who served in military intelligence as a Chinese Cryptologic Linguist.

My work as a forensic interviewer for children who experienced abuse and neglect strengthened my ability to sit with difficult stories and provide safe, trauma-informed care. My lived experiences with trauma, abuse, and autoimmune illness have also shaped my understanding of the mind-body connection.
