Most couples come into therapy seeking help with communication. We do in-session exercises that strengthen curiosity and self-awareness, in order to slow down reactivity. This allows partners to interact with presence and intention, instead of through the lens of past pain.
With individuals, our work can include changing self-talk, managing chronic stress or pain, and trauma recovery.

My training gives me great expertise to conduct therapy in person or through telehealth for Wisconsin clients.
I'm Dr. Ruth Schumacher-Martinez. I'm so glad you understand you deserve support! I want to help you navigate from dread, stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck to experiencing calm movement and energy in advancing your goals. One size does not fit all and when your brain is wired differently life can feel like you are wearing clothes that don’t fit. Finding comfortable, accessible spaces is tough for everyone, but when you have a built-in difference that is invisible to others, it can seem an insurmountable obstacle. My goal is to to be a psychologist who “gets it” and helps you develop the skills you need to create the life you want.

My ideal client would be anyone in elementary, middle school, high school or post-secondary or early employment. When asked or when I introduced myself, I would label myself as a "school doctor" (rather than a medical doctor) who specializes in all things related to school including, but not limited to academic expectations or challenges; getting along with others through social connections or behavior choices, emotional adjustment or coping with stressors. Usually there is a gap between where you are and where you would like to be and it is our job to work together and move towards reducing that gap.

At the core of my work is a radical healing relationship that attunes to whatever is calling for your attention. Whatever feelings or parts of you you've learned were unlovable, unacceptable, or bad, I welcome here. Together, we can sensitively tune in and learn to see and relate to these parts differently. I help people remember how to be with themselves, the sensations in their body, their messy humanness, and their awe-inspiring magic. Here, your autonomy is central, and your care is organically holistic.

I'm delighted you have arrived here, after noticing something in you or your life is asking for your attention & care.

Perhaps you've experienced concern about your emotional & mental well-being for awhile and now sense a readiness to open to your suffering as a pathway to healing. Or something unexpected has compromised your usual way of coping, and you believe uncovering your resilience will move you through the adversity.

The frustration of misplaced items, missed deadlines, and racing thoughts can leave you feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood.

These aren't character flaws but neurological differences that deserve compassionate support. Together, we'll develop personalized strategies to harness your strengths and build a life that works with your brain, not against it.
