Dr. Kristin Steele

Psychologist

Virtual • La Mesa, CA


I am a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing effective, specialized psychological services for Adolescents/Adults. I facilitate Psychological Evaluations/Testing, Psychotherapy, and Mental Health/Performance Coaching. I take an Individualized, Empowerment and Wellness-based approach whereby I incorporate brief, solutions-focused interventions to address the overall psychological needs of a person or family to help reduce suffering and bring about optimal Well-being and long-term Recovery.

Often my caseload is full, however I would be able to match you with one of our Associate Therapists who share the same values and evidenced based approach to care. You would be able to work with these therapists while using your insurance benefits and/or for a low out-of-pocket rate, for those that would prefer to maximize confidentiality and autonomy in their therapy process.

Dr. Cindy Ruelas-Tafolla

Therapist

Virtual • Las Vegas, CA


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.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with a real person. I’m warm and compassionate, but I’m also honest and direct—I won’t judge you, but I won’t simply tell you what you want to hear, either. I’ll laugh with you, ask the questions that may be uncomfortable, and challenge you when I believe it could help. I care about my clients and genuinely love this work. You can expect me to be present, engaged, ethical, and respectful of your boundaries while creating a space where you can be fully yourself.

I believe in going beyond the belief that all we can do is manage trauma and symptoms forever. I believe our mind, body, and spirit already has the power to overcome it, we just have to learn how to tap into it and put it to use
