Connie Ruyter

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience working in the behavioral health field. I have a long history of working with individuals experiencing mental health and substance use issues. My fields of expertise include co-occurring disorders, trauma, and intimate partner violence. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Morgan State University.

My approach to therapy is person-centered. I believe you are the expert in your own life and I provide a supportive space where you can explore challenges, build self awareness and move towards meaningful change at your own pace.

I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. We will use the first session to establish your strengths, goals and a plan to move forward.
