Getting to know Amelia Thaoxaochay-Ruiz

Hello! My name is Amelia, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over five years of experience working with children, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in maternal mental health, trauma, attachment concerns, and helping clients better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped their lives. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel understood, challenged when needed, and empowered to make meaningful changes that align with the life you want to live.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is collaborative, transparent, and rooted in the belief that your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors make sense within the context of your experiences. I strive to meet clients where they are while gently challenging unhelpful patterns and building practical skills for lasting change. Drawing from DBT, CPT, CBT, psychodynamic, and family systems approaches, I tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs and goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During our first session, my focus is on getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and identifying what you hope to gain from the process. You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free environment where we work together to explore your concerns and begin developing meaningful goals. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship matters, so we'll discuss whether my approach feels like a good fit for your needs and preferences.
