My name is Edwin Ruiz, and I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I support individuals navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, including experiences related to discrimination, violence, and major changes in work or environment.
I aim to create a warm, culturally responsive space where you can feel comfortable, heard, and supported. Using approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work collaboratively with clients to process difficult experiences, build resilience, and move toward greater balance and peace.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you choose to work with me or one of my colleagues, you deserve care that feels safe, respectful, and supportive.
