My name is Ruth Reina and I like to think of myself as a human first, then a therapist and a change agent!
While I value my academic and professional training, my motivation to advocate and help others comes from my own lived experience with trauma, dysfunction, and mental health. As someone who has sat on the other side of the couch, I know how difficult and scary it can be to ask the question - why?… Why am I like this? Why is this affecting me more than others? Why is it so hard to challenge these thoughts? Why can’t I just get better?!
The answers to those questions are different and unique for each person, which is why I approach my practice with humility and curiosity. I am passionate about providing a holistic therapeutic experience where you’re free to explore the answers in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment.
In order to pour into others, I like to fill my cup by spending time outdoors with my two pups, and embracing all that nature has to offer… minus the critters!
