​Empowering Healing.

Hi,

​Embracing Transformation.

​Hello, I’m Ruben Sauceda, but most people call me RJ.

I’m a therapist who’s passionate about supporting those exploring their journey and embracing their individuality.

I work with individuals grappling with emotions that don’t always make sense and are hard to place.

Together, we find beauty and acceptance in life’s challenges and complexities.

​At Cactus Azul Therapy, we believe that with the right support, anyone can thrive—even in the face of life’s most challenging moments. We are here to walk alongside you on this journey of growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

Your Journey to Balance and Renewal

Cactus Azul Therapy stands as a beacon of hope for those navigating life’s emotional complexities. Our practice is rooted in resilience and guided by growth, providing a space where individuals can empower their healing, embrace transformation, and move towards a balanced and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approach

In my practice, we move at your pace. The past cannot be changed, but together, we can release the burdens of self-blame and foster a sense of acceptance.

My aim is to create a safe, comfortable space where you can explore and renegotiate beliefs and behaviors, aligning them with your personal goals.

”Working with me offers a chance to explore the intricacies of your environment while staying true to yourself and moving towards the life you desire.
I accompany individuals as they navigate relationship dynamics, cultural and intrapersonal influences, and trauma, fostering a journey towards healing and self-acceptance.”

Core Beliefs

Everyone Deserves Equal Access to Mental Health Support

We believe that mental health care is a fundamental right. No one should be denied the chance to heal, grow, or receive support due to their background, identity, or circumstances. At Cactus Azul Therapy, we are committed to providing compassionate, accessible therapy to everyone who seeks it, ensuring that all individuals feel valued and supported in their journey.

Mistakes do not negate accomplishments.

Life is a process of learning, and mistakes are a natural part of growth. We view setbacks as stepping stones rather than obstacles, understanding that they do not erase or diminish your achievements. In therapy, we focus on your progress and resilience, empowering you to recognize your worth and celebrate the strength it takes to move forward.

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

We reject the idea of a one-size-fits-all standard of “normal.” Every individual’s experiences, emotions, and paths are unique, and there is beauty in that diversity. At Cactus Azul Therapy, we honor and embrace each person’s individuality, fostering an inclusive space where you can be yourself without comparison or judgment. Your journey is your own, and that’s what makes it valuable.
