Hi! My name is Tiffany and I have been working as a therapist for almost a decade now. I completed my PhD in Community Psychology and have my Master's degree in Couple's and Family Therapy. I have worked with clients of all ages and have effectively helped clients find relief from issues such as depression, sexual issues, anxiety, PTSD and communication difficulties. As a relational therapist, I work with couples of all types, including those with alternative relationship practices (BDSM, kink, and polyamory). So, if you are an individual struggling with issues related to alternative lifestyles, I can help! I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including contextual family therapy, CBT, DBT, trauma-informed visualization, EMDR but, overall, create a unique treatment plan to incorporate what works best for my client. My goal is to help clients create strategies and life skills to reduce difficulties in their life that are causing them to feel overwhelmed.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. & Mrs. Tiffany Ruelaz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Ruelaz is an incredible therapist. I have always felt listened to and cared about when being treated by her! She responds as quickly as she can and is very considerate of patient needs. She has given me excellent tools for handling everyday life as well as trauma recovery and complex social scenarios! I started working with her in February of 2021 and by August, I rarely needed to use her as a resource. I understand that's not going to be the same for everyone, but to me shows her expertise and confidence !
