Samantha Ruiz

Hi, I’m Samantha. I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety related disorders, depression, and relationship patterns that no longer feel sustainable. We would be a good fit if you are inquisitive, collaborative and ready to seek solutions for your most pressing concerns. I cannot emphasize enough that you are the subject matter expert on you. My role is to helping you identify and uncover the barriers that have been keeping you in a stuck loop.

I provide short-time

My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it centers your voice and lived experience, you bring the expertise of your story, and I bring a holistic, compassionate framework to help you explore it with clarity and intention. I welcome all the parts of your identity and experience that feel important to bring into the room.

I practice a flexible, short-term form of therapy that prioritizes your unique needs. I draw from a diverse toolkit of evidence-based practices, including behavioral therapies like CBT, ERP, and Behavioral Activation, alongside deep psychodynamic insight. This integrative approach ensures that our work remains highly targeted, collaborative, and structured around what actually works for you, helping you find relief and build momentum in a time effective manner.

You can expect empathy, curiosity, and a supportive space to reflect. You can also expect gentle but honest challenge as we identify patterns that may be hindering growth and development. Together, we work toward insight, connection, and meaningful long‐term change.

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and begin building a foundation for our work together. I cannot stress enough that we start where you are and sometimes that means focusing on the here and I now. My aim is to create a space where you feel comfortable, informed, and supported as we begin this process.
