Getting to know Christine Ruiz

I have a passion for helping individuals and families by inspiring hope in each person to reach their full potential through an array of culturally sensitive and adapted modalities and techniques. My passion lies with survivors of violence and individuals who have experienced traumatic experiences. I have been working with youth and adults for over 4 years. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and hold a Master’s in Social Work from Stockton University. I have quickly adapted to provide competent services via telehealth. I enjoy working with children and adolescents by utilizing interactive activities that keep them engaged and excited about their therapeutic experiences. I have several years of experience working with adults and parents with a variety of issues that include, but are not limited to, adjustments to change, relationship conflict, depression, self-esteem, anger management, and parenting or co-parenting conflict.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Although, I work with each person individually to reduce symptoms, I am unable to prescribe medication within my scope of practice.
