Getting to know Cathy Ruffin
Hello, my name is Cathy Ruffin, and I am a licensed therapist specializing in trauma and trauma-related issues. I also treat those with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and loss. I use a biopsychosocial approach that recognizes the importance of addressing the interaction between physical, psychological, and social factors in both the prevention and management of symptoms. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles.
With over 25 years of experience, I provide a nonjudgmental, warm, and relational style of therapy. I am licensed in the following states and jurisdictions: AZ, CA, DC, DE, FL, IL, MD, MI, NJ, NV, NY, OR, PA, TX, and VA.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
