My name is Edwin Ruiz, and I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, including victims of crime, domestic violence, racial discrimination, and those adjusting to new environments, jobs, or countries. As a male therapist, I bring compassion, cultural awareness, and a deep understanding of how life’s challenges can shape us. Whether you’re carrying painful memories, struggling with self-doubt, or seeking stability, I’m here to provide a safe space where you can feel seen and supported.
Together, we’ll address your challenges and work toward goals that matter to you—processing trauma, building resilience, or restoring a sense of peace. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotional Focus Couples Therapy, I’ll help you develop the tools to move forward with confidence and strength.
Healing takes courage, and it starts with one step. It would be my honor to walk alongside you on this journey. You deserve to feel empowered, understood, and at peace.
