I believe that most people struggle at some points in their life. Many people find a way through that struggle, but it can take a while, and some people get stuck in the struggle. I can help you get to the root of what’s holding you back. One of my strengths is helping people dig through the clutter to find the real reasons they are stuck. Therapy is a place to process emotions and examine ways of thinking that hold us back from living a fuller and more fulfilling life. My priorities are to meet you where you are, figure out what’s going on together, and develop effective plans for change, to conquer challenges and nurture growth.

During our initial sessions, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and create an evidence-based plan using CBT or ERP.
Do intrusive thoughts get stuck in your mind and feel impossible to shake? Thoughts like, “What if I have cancer?”, “What if I don’t actually love my spouse?”, or "What if I hit someone with my car and didn't notice?" These thoughts can feel so threatening that you may end up spending hours googling symptoms, checking things repeatedly, replaying conversations, or seeking reassurance, but the relief never lasts. It can be exhausting, confusing, and scary to live this way. You’re not alone, and effective treatment is available.

From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for exploring how thoughts affect emotions, to Mindfulness for embodying stress reduction tools and awareness, to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for identifying ways to accept and defuse from thoughts, to Positive Psychology which emphasizes growth, potential, and well-being.
Feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly exhausted—even when life looks “fine” on the outside—is more common than you might think. Many of the women I work with are navigating career pressure, relationship strain, identity shifts, or burnout while holding a lot for others. I specialize in therapy for Gen Z, millennial, and midlife women seeking support with anxiety, stress, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is relational, thoughtful, and personalized, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to explore what feels out of balance and what’s asking for attention now.

Life is hard — and most of us keep waiting for it to get easier on its own. But real, lasting change only happens when we build the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual skills to meet life differently. Therapy is where that transformation begins. It is where you learn, practice, and grow, with someone in your corner who truly sees you, honors your story, and refuses to ask you to leave any part of yourself at the door. I am Dr. LaNail R. Plummer — licensed therapist, founder and CEO of Onyx Therapy Group, author, and someone who has spent over 20 years creating space for people the mental health world has too often overlooked.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ruth. I help clients move beyond survival into a life that feels peaceful, aligned, and fulfilling.
