My name is Eric Ratinetz. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience treating people coping with life changes. These include issues around relationships, loneliness, parenting, divorce, job change, caring for a loved one, and chronic illness. I work with clients to guide them in identifying new purpose, managing anxieties and depression, and in service of them achieving personal balance. We do this through addressing emotional, social, and spiritual needs through utilization of CBT and positive psychology. It's not always easy to ask for help and I work with individuals in an understanding way in order to gain their trust and to help them to maximize the therapeutic experience.

He's helped me find all of my struggles in life. Things which I would have never been able to discover myself. Finding your struggles is the first step to overcome them.
