Getting to know Esther Elena Ruiz

IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider. For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged a self-pay rate for that session. AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay. 1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts. 2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card. 3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions. CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the late cancellation fee. Welcome and thank you for being here! I'm Esther Ruiz, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience helping children, adults, and couples navigate life's challenges. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Benedictine University and my Master's in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University. My career has taken me through nonprofit organizations, DCFS, and Thriveworks, where I've had the privilege of supporting people from diverse backgrounds. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and safe enough to reconnect with the person you've always been. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy is more than learning coping skills, it's understanding your story, breaking free from patterns that no longer serve you, and rediscovering the strength, clarity, and self-trust that have always been within you. We move at a pace that feels right for you!
