Ruby is incredibly attentive, open, and understanding. I always receive messages from her each day with reminders &/or motivators at the beginning and end of the day. I feel heard and feel like I'm being offered doable HW that is helping improve in the areas that I want or need to work on. In the short time I've been seeing Ruby so far, I've already seen more progress than attempting to do the work solo or with previous programs and therapists I have been with. She's uplifting, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and fun!
