Ruby Cervantes

Ruby is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor at Restore Balance Counseling AZ, offering virtual therapy exclusively to adults (18+) throughout Arizona in both English and Spanish. She brings a holistic, body-centered lens to all of her work — drawing on somatic awareness, mindfulness, and Polyvagal theory to help clients understand how their nervous system holds and responds to experience. Her approach weaves together EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and evidence-based techniques into something personal for each client.

Her clinical focus centers on trauma and PTSD, with particular depth in generational trauma and the ways it intersects with modern burnout, codependency, and relational patterns. She also works with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, racial identity, and the lasting effects of domestic violence and abuse.

Ruby is deeply committed to increasing access to mental health care for communities that have been historically underserved. Offering services in both English and Spanish, she welcomes clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and brings a culturally responsive, identity-affirming perspective to all of her work. Her style blends structure, exploration, and genuine warmth — adapting to what each person needs most.

With 8 years of clinical experience and certifications in IFS, EMDR, and as a Certified Trauma Support Specialist (CTSS), Ruby brings depth and rigor to trauma work that extends well beyond talk therapy — into the places where healing actually happens.
