Ruby has been able to tackle my immediate concerns and in just two sessions i have already been able to understand SO much about what work i need to do to improve the quality of my life. i am very grateful and excited for this opportunity to work with her.

I am grateful for Ruby’s professionalism, compassion, communication, and empathy. I started therapy to help me deal with anxiety and depression. She’s helped me to face some feelings and facts that I’d been avoiding. She has effectively used the tools at her disposal to help me dig deeper.

As a result, I have learned how to identify the root causes of my stress and learn how to handle it. I am on the road to rebuilding some of my relationships and letting go of others that don’t serve me.

At some point, I won’t need to talk to Ruby as often as I am now, but I will definitely do a check in from time to time to make sure that I stay on track.

Ruby has been a lifesaver. Not only has she worked with me but with my son as well. Along with excellent advice she provides real life exercises to aid in achieving our goals. Thank you Ruby!!

I love Ruby, she’s so down to earth and wise. I purposely sought out a therapist of color because I wanted someone to relate to me as a young black woman and she does just that. She’s such a great person. So spiritual and enlightening.

Offer a space to vent and express my feelings and less time prematurely offering input that might not be relevant or helpful to the topic of discussion. Help me pinpoint my areas of concern.

Written on Nov 27, 2022 after therapy with Ruby for 1 month on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes

Ruby gave me the space and understanding to express myself. She made me feel heard. And at that moment for me, that was what I really needed to help me move forward.
This was very different from any other therapist that I had worked with before.
Thank you, Ruby!

My therapist is probably the best one that I have ever had, and I've been seeing them for 37 years, she listens, she tells me what I need to know, and we discuss ways of overcoming my obstacles, she gives me tools that I can actually use (unlike other therapists that I have seen. I've made more progress with her in this very short amount of time than I did with other ones over years! I still have a long way to go, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel now!
