Getting to know Dr. Jeannina Ruiz

I am Dr. Jeannina, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Nationally Board Certified Counselor, and Approved Clinical Supervisor. I have experience working with individuals ages 2-21 in high-risk crisis settings, as well as ages 5-65 in community outpatient and telehealth settings. Specializing in children and adolescent trauma, I work from a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the widespread impact of trauma and integrating knowledge of how it affects lives in multiple ways. I provide a nurturing and friendly rapport to connect with the inner child within each individual, fostering well-being and healing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strongly believe in an integrative approach while incorporating mindfulness techniques to help clients regulate their emotions and remain present throughout their daily life. I truly devote the time I have with my client to provide them with the tools and skills that will be sustainable and achievable while clients are not in session.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After the initial intake session, my clients will have a realistic understanding of the therapeutic process and have clear and concrete expectations of therapy. During the following sessions, I aim to prioritize self-determination, promote well-being, and provide a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment for my clients to achieve their goals at their own pace.

I've been seeing Jeannina for about two years now. I can with all confidence say she has helped me a lot through my journey in finding a sense of belonging. She is detailed and helpful.
