You don’t have to go through this alone. Healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I’m Ruth Greenspan (she/her), a Registered Social Worker with over 37 years of experience supporting teens, adults, couples, families, and first responders. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, offering therapy that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in respect. I also provide clinical supervision for therapists, offering supportive, reflective, and ethically grounded guidance informed by decades of practice.
My approach is warm, inclusive, and collaborative. We move at your pace, focusing on both relief and long-term growth. Whether you’re processing past experiences, navigating present challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I work alongside you to build insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
I bring warmth, respect, and curiosity to every session. As an ally to queer and racialized communities, I create a safe, inclusive space where your whole self is honoured. I focus on your strengths while building pathways toward healing, resilience, and growth. Let's start small and book your free consultation today!
