Maria Ruiz

Maria Ruiz, a psychological associate with a PsyD, understands that everyone faces challenging moments in life that may require transformation. Those circumstances can often lead individuals to question their self-esteem, confidence, and self-perception. Helping clients navigate these complex feelings is a crucial part of Maria's work, as she recognizes that understanding one's emotions can be a daunting task. She believes that seeking professional help can facilitate the process of change in ways that the support from friends and family may not. With a non-judgmental approach, Maria provides a safe space for clients to explore their issues, challenge their thoughts with respect, and gain guidance to manage their struggles more effectively. Maria specializes in assisting individuals who have experienced trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, alcohol use, and difficulties in parenting and relationships, including issues such as jealousy, mistrust, defensiveness, and communication challenges. She views therapy as a collaborative journey, working alongside clients to help them achieve their goals. By delving into the deeper roots of symptoms and life patterns, Maria empowers her clients to become the experts of their own experiences. Together, they will explore emotions, recognize strengths, and identify obstacles on the path to healing.
