Wonderful therapist
Written on Jul 24, 2023 after therapy with Ruth for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes
I like that she identifies core issues and suggests ways to correct as well as asking me ways to help cope. I like that she explains why I may act in certain ways based on my life experience but also explains how my actions may affect others. I feel comfortable talking to her and appreciate her insight.
