Dr. Kristin Steele

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.

Gianna Colavin-Bridges

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I work with each client to understand their unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a space where you can be open and honest without judgment, while working together to better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change.

Before becoming a social worker, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance. My background in dance has shaped the way I think about the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and overall well-being. I value the role that creativity, self-expression, and awareness can play in healing and personal growth. I also believe that humor, honesty, and authenticity have a place in therapy, and I want you to feel comfortable being your whole self in our work together.

Ana Jaimes Aragon

Ana Jaimes Aragon

Therapist

Virtual • California


Understanding ourselves is one of the hardest and most meaningful parts of healing. After years working in community mental health and now in outpatient therapy, I've come to believe that many of the stories, beliefs, and survival strategies we carry once made sense, but no longer fit the life we want to live. Sometimes, those stories didn't even begin with us. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions, helping them better understand themselves, reconnect with their own voice, and move toward the life they want through a trauma-informed approach that integrates CBT, mindfulness, and somatic awareness.

Therapist

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.

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.
