About Claro Therapy
Meet Mayra
Mayra Ruelas-Ramirez, LMFT
I am a bilingual, first-generation Latina therapist specializing in trauma and postpartum healing. My approach blends attachment-based therapy, trauma-focused care, and cultural humility.

I serve birthing parents and individuals across California who are navigating trauma, postpartum distress, or disconnection after a difficult birth. Through bilingual therapy, specialized trauma treatment, and a safe, collaborative environment, clients feel seen, understood, and empowered.
