Though I was looking forward to working with Ruth I was off put by the fact that she was not willing to honor the session I had scheduled because I did not feel comfortable providing PHI before our first meeting. While I understand the need for this from the perspective of professional liability, I am looking for a therapist who also understands how to build rapport and honors my time

Ruth has been a most trusted counsellor and helps me to get an understanding and perspective on what is happening around me. The sessions have been invaluable and very accurate. I have had counseling over the years on and off for short bursts of time but only Ruth has had the sheer insight that just ties up all the loose ends and makes sense of what is going on. I do not believe that many counsellors have this insight. I would definitely recommend Ruth to anyone seeking help.

Excellent Counselor!!!
Written on Jul 16, 2015 after therapy with Ruth for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety
During the last six months I went through major challenges and transitions. My counselor, Ruth Vanden Bosch, seemed to be very in tune with me and I was impressed with how quickly she got back to me and always offered grounded, knowledgeable, advice and oodles of positive support. I found her empathetic, humorous and open minded. I feel like I went through huge life changes with much more resilience than I would have with the resources I had before connecting with Ruth.
When you are stressed and depleted within an inch of your life and need help, it is ridiculous to have to shop around for a counselor; I think that the platform of Betterhelp.com saves you allot of heartache.
