Hi there, my name is Gabriel Ruiz. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I completed both my bachelor's in psychology and my Master of Social Work (MSW) at California State University, Bakersfield. I am currently working on obtaining my Doctorate in Social Work (DSW) at Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts. Our time together isn’t necessarily to rid ourselves of “bad” feelings but to gain the ability to experience a wider range of emotions. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have various mental health needs. My approach to therapy is focused on creating a safe, brave, and affirming space.

It is my goal to support people in their personal exploration and growth through therapeutic counseling, breath work, relaxation training, the practice of somatic awareness and meditation. The methods I use also have very strong response to treatment for individuals with a history of trauma.

While I approach therapy from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective, focusing on challenging thoughts and changing behaviors, I do so with the primary focus on respect for my patients and their individual issues. I want you to feel supported in session but also know that you will be challenged and tasked with completing goals in between sessions. I greatly enjoy helping my patients reach their own goals to be successful in their life, especially in the areas of social relationships, academics, employment, and self-care.

Are you longing to feel peace in your body again…or perhaps you’ve never felt peace. Life is messy and full of transitions. Sometimes these transitions are manageable, but often times they bring up hard feelings, thoughts, or reactions that we weren’t anticipating. Everyone struggles from time to time. Maybe you have experienced trauma in your lifetime and have never had the space to give it the proper narrative it deserves. My approach to counseling is collaborative as I see myself as a support person along your journey. My focus is on providing a secure space to develop a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship.

Hello Hello, I'm Tabitha :) I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California. I work with clients in person in Carlsbad, CA, and statewide via Telehealth. I believe in empathetic listening, transparency, and empowerment as a means to unravel inner conflict. Inner conflict is often the underlying cause for “stuck points”. If you feel like you’re spinning in circles despite great efforts, we may want to assess for any inner conflict that may be present.

First off, are you blown away that you are looking for a therapist? Are you asking yourself when did my life become so complicated? When did I lose myself? Why can’t I move on? It turns out we could all use some help. Life is hard, not having support in life is harder.
