Betel Christy Ruschmeyer

Betel Christy Ruschmeyer

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Betel, and I am a California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in my 6th year of practice. I received my MA from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where I trained in a process-oriented, humanistic-existential style of clinical work. My background also includes coaching in ketamine-assisted care settings, and I am psychedelics-informed and educated.

At the foundation of my work is the belief that human being is an organic unfolding, in which mindful awareness plays an enduring and creative role. I therefore tend to work especially well with artists, young adults, the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone navigating major life transitions or places of in-between in their sense of who they are.

Growing up today is harder than ever, and it’s just as tough to be the parent watching your child struggle to keep their head above water. Whether it’s the constant hum of anxiety, the frustration of ADHD-driven "Executive Dysfunction," or a major life change that has turned things upside down, you don’t have to navigate this alone. I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and young adults find their footing when the world feels overwhelming.

Psychologist

I am: a psychologist, a researcher, a community organizer, an educator, a Filipina American, a daughter/mother/sis/partner, and the list may go on. I share this, because often therapists don’t, and to note that my work as a therapist has been cultivated from a myriad of paths taken to get through this thing called “life”. As such, I know that one’s life path can change, and depending on your context, can feel like you’re taking the same path yet have a vastly different journey and destination.
