Empowering Healing.

Hi,

Embracing Transformation.

Hi, I’m RJ Sauceda.

As a therapist, I focus on supporting individuals and couples who feel weighed down with feelings that seem elusive or overwhelming.

I work with individuals grappling with porn & sex addiction, partner betrayal, sexual offenses, self esteem, LGBTQ issues along with other issues that interrupt your journey.

Counseling journeys are not about perfection, they’re about navigating life’s complexities and finding acceptance, balance, and resilience that can emerge from challenges.

With the right support, anyone can thrive—even in the face of life’s most challenging moments.

Resilience in Every Terrain...

Why Cactus Azul?

We chose the name because like the resilient cactus, humans harbor a strength to help them adapt to life’s complexities. Cacti survive all the elements of droughts, extreme heat, flash floods, and freezing temps - just as we ride out life’s challenges. The color Azul represents tranquility, trust, depth and freedom. This reflects our mission to help individuals grappling with emotions that don’t always make sense and are hard to place.

At CACP, we recognize that every journey in unique, with paths that may be challenging yet transformative. Some paths may lead through deserts, others over mountains, but all bring us to vital crossroads. Our practice is rooted in resilience and guided by growth, providing a space where individuals can embrace transformation at their own pace.

difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations

Therapeutic Approach

We move at your place. The past cannot be changed, but together, we can release the burden of guilt, shame, or self-blame and foster a sense of peace and acceptance.

Our aim is to create a safe, comfortable space where you can explore and renegotiate beliefs and behaviors aligning them with your personal goals. With a foundation in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) we offer effective, evidence based techniques to help you become the version of yourself that you could be proud of.

Core Beliefs

Everyone Deserves Equal Access to Mental Health Support

Nobody should be denied the chance to discover themselves, heal themselves and grow through therapeutic counseling. Someone's background, identity, or circumstances should not be barriers to compassionate therapy and at Cactus Azul - they're not.

Mistakes do not negate accomplishments.

Again, the goal of life is not perfection. We win, we lose, we learn that is a natural part of growth. Mistakes do not erase or diminish your achievements. We help you focus on your progress in order to recognize your worth and celebrate the strength it takes to move forward.

There Is No “Degree” or Standard for “Normal”

You cannot tell a fish what it feels like to walk on land. Every individual's journey is unique and there is value in that diversity. We honor and embrace each person's individuality, fostering an inclusive space where you can be yourself without comparison or judgement.
