I enjoy working with individuals (18 or older) that are curious about themselves, reflective and who desire change. The therapeutic alliance or the relational 'good fit' stands out as the fundamental factor in effective treatment. I am interested in developmental issues in adults and addressing repetitive patterns that stand in the way of growth. My approach is psychoanalytic psychotherapy including attachment , mentalization and creativity based treatments.

I offer a space in which we pay close attention to what is happening in and around you—emotionally, spiritually, bodily, relationally—and provide a sense of calm as we do so. We work together to connect you to the meaning beneath the surface of your pain, bringing not only relief but an increased capacity to tolerate future struggles as well. Part of our work will involve exploring your life's patterns and expanding the awareness needed to helpfully shift them. You will grow non-judgmental curiosity about yourself and others through this process, which will nurture a richer and freer engagement in your relationships.

I love working with couples as well as individuals interested in hike or nature-based therapy. From our very first session you will take home practical tools for both communication and relaxation. In moments of stress, you will have less blaming ways to express what you need to keep things from escalating. For those times when you do lose your cool, you will know more about calming yourself down before saying something you regret. I'll help you learn to be kinder to yourself, to be aware of how you talk to yourself. For starters, don't believe everything you think!

Hola and Welcome. My name is Ivet Castañeda Ruiz, I have been a practicing therapist for the last 10 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.

The decision to pursue counseling is an extremely important and personal one. And, finding the right therapist is a crucial part of the process. I have been practicing in the field over 25 years and have worked in a variety of settings with adults and adolescents. In addition to having extensive experience in helping those who have suffered grief and loss, I am particularly skilled at working with highly sensitive individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, developmental issues, and identifying, understanding, and changing repetitive patterns that do not serve them.

Feel like you & your partner communicate in two different languages? Are you trying to navigate your way through a life change? Are you feeling trapped inside worry, doubt, or fear? You desire a stronger connection but when it is as if you are speaking a different language than your partner it is lonely & frustrating. Maybe you are experiencing a life change from a change in your relationship, a change in your career or one of the many other things that can take life in new directions & you are feeling pulled in multiple directions & emotions. Attempts at control, avoidance, or perfection have provided you with little to no success.
