Ruben Velazquez, LMFT
My work is focused on supporting neurodivergent individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, executive functioning challenges, sensory overload, and relational stress. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and trauma-informed, with a strong foundation in cultural humility and intersectionality. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their identities, build resilience, and feel seen for who they truly are.
In session, I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, increase self-awareness, and develop practical tools to manage overwhelm, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen communication. With couples, I focus on helping partners better understand each other’s needs and neurotypes, reduce conflict, and build deeper, more secure connections. Whether we're mapping out routines to support executive functioning or unpacking the impact of past experiences on current relationships, our work is always guided by curiosity and compassion.
My goal is to help clients move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and manageable.
Together, we’ll untangle the patterns that keep you stuck and develop new ways of relating – to yourself, your partner(s), and the world around you.
