Getting to know Jessica Ruark

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 our self-pay rate of $200 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 $135 late cancellation fee. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in supporting adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment-related challenges. Much of my career has been dedicated to working with teens and families during major life transitions, providing care that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in safety and trust. I earned my master's degree in social work from the University of Southern California. My clinical approach is goal-oriented and client-centered, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills that support emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth. Therapy is a courageous journey, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they explore challenges and work toward meaningful change.
