Ruth brings real life experience, reads me accurately, and meets me where I am. She provides a safe space much needed human touch to do the work within myself; even when I struggle to name what exactly the work is. I’m grateful to have her on my team and appreciate her insight along my journey.

I have actively been in therapy for seven months. I honestly believe the consistency is because of the therapist I’ve been paired with. My life has improved so much in less than a year. Therapy has been that extended hand of help when I needed it most.
When you show up transparent and vulnerable, your therapist has a clear canvas to work with. I’ve done that, and the picture of who I today is colorful and beautiful. My confidence is felt and I feel free.
I will continue therapy with Ruth Gordon as I continue to build the life I deserve. Therapy was necessary for the broken stages and now, during the building stage. As a woman, in the middle stages of life, I, too, have to figure out who I am.
I’m pro therapy and it is hands down, one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made, invested in and did for myself!

Ruth is an excellent therapist! She has a great demeanor and easily to talk to and express whatever is on your mind. She offers suggestions, strategies and insight. I have enjoyed our time together and she has helped me so much by helping me to understand the process of releasing the various emotions that prevent us from being the person we truly want to be!

I have only had a few sessions with Ruth and I feel so comfortable with her. I have never participated in therapy before so I was really nervous to begin. She has made it really easy to open up and has already given me tools to navigate my life in new, more productive and healthy ways. I am looking forward to see where this chapter leads.
