Getting to know Gabriela Ruiz
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience providing psychotherapy and clinical social work across medical, academic, and private practice settings. My clinical work is grounded in trauma-informed care, psychoeducation, and a commitment to evidence-based, integrative treatment that supports each client’s individual goals and strengths.
My experience includes working with adults, adolescents, and families in settings such as UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, and the San Francisco Stress and Anxiety Center. These diverse environments have informed a comprehensive approach that values collaboration, holistic assessment, and continuity of care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first weeks will be used to delve into your understanding of the issues at hand, afterwards the goal is to explore perceptions and beliefs that can be modifies to improve your well being.
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.
