Teresa Ruiz, LPC

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and other experiences that can leave you feeling overwhelmed. I am EMDR-Certified and bring specialized training and experience in trauma treatment, while recognizing that each person’s story, needs, and path toward healing are unique. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible. I also serve as a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor, providing clinical supervision to counselors pursuing licensure.

My undergraduate degree is in Music Therapy, and I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. Over more than 20 years in the counseling field, I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and in a variety of settings. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the complexity of being human—the ways our experiences shape us, the challenges that can leave us feeling stuck, and the capacity we each have for growth, healing, and change.

In therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can be heard without judgment and have room to explore what you’re experiencing. Together, we can process emotions and life challenges, gain greater clarity, refine your goals, and identify meaningful steps toward the life you want to create.

I offer both in-person and online counseling. My practice is private pay and does not accept insurance.
