Diane Ruby

I attended graduate school at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls and have more than 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I work with adults ages 20 to 89, helping them navigate a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Many of my clients have spent years caring for others and are now recognizing the importance of attending to their own needs and well-being. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, ADHD—including the challenges of living with someone who has ADHD—trauma, grief, adjustment difficulties, work-related stress, and struggles with establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries.

My approach to therapy is client-centered and individualized, drawing on many years of clinical experience to find what works best for you and your unique circumstances. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing, gain a deeper understanding of the patterns that may be contributing to them, identify your strengths, and develop practical skills to help you move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

My goal is for you to leave our first session feeling heard, understood, and supported. We will begin exploring the challenges that brought you to therapy, what you hope to change, and how we can work together. Most importantly, I want you to leave with a sense of hope that positive change is possible and that there is a path forward.
