EMDR-certified trauma therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, attachment wounds, and emotional overwhelm. If you feel stuck in survival mode—constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, or caught in patterns shaped by past experiences—you’re not alone. Many high-functioning adults carry unresolved trauma that quietly impacts how they feel, relate, and move through life.

Hi! I am Ceci Cade, the owner of Riding Waves Counseling PLLC. Riding Waves represents how life can be—like a challenge or a movement that rises, peaks, and eventually passes. When you ride a wave, you are not trying to stop it or control the ocean; you are learning how to move with it. My goal in therapy is to ride the waves with you as we build acceptance, resilience, and self-compassion. Together, we work to understand emotions rather than fight them, develop skills to stay grounded through life’s ups and downs, and trust in your ability to move forward even when the waters feel rough. You do not have to navigate the waves alone!

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients navigating the difficult path through trauma and stress. Working in partnership with clients, I first seek to understand where they are on that path and how they got there. Then I seek to help people develop a greater awareness of their body’s autonomic reactions to stress, so they are less consumed by their thoughts and emotions, and are able to regain their sense of safety and control.

Welcome! Seeking mental health support is a brave and vulnerable first step to take, and I'm glad you've made it this far. You may be an overwhelmed and drained parent, looking to expand your toolkit to support both your family and yourself. Perhaps you have a child or teenager who has experienced abuse, trauma, and/or is struggling with mental health issues and needs a safe and trusted space to land and recover. Or maybe you are an individual who is stuck replaying old patterns, feeling burdened by old wounds, and noticing how this shows up in how your experience your relationships and the world around you.

You’re the one people rely on. You show up, get things done, and want to hold everything together—but internally, it feels overwhelming. Your mind is always going, you overthink decisions, and it’s hard to truly relax without guilt. I work with women who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, pressure to perform, and emotional exhaustion. Many of my clients struggle with constant mental load, pressure to “do it all,” and feeling like they’re never quite doing enough—despite everything they manage each day. Growth can happen with clarity, balance, and strength rather than relentless self-pressure.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.

How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
