Julia Ruffolo, LCSW

Julia Ruffolo, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
I'm Julia Ruffolo, an LCSW licensed in both California and Nevada. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I take a client-centered approach, meeting clients where they are and truly believing that we are on this journey together. My background includes drug and alcohol addiction, sex/porn/love addiction, and mental health issues. My approach I am a solution-focused therapist who values processing and discussion but believes that therapy must have clear goals. I enjoy problem-solving with clients and getting to the core of their issues. My focus Most of my experience is with the adult population, specifically working with addiction. My niche is sex/love/porn addiction, and I use a variety of written materials to complement live therapy. I understand that addiction often involves mental health struggles, and I am comfortable treating both. My communication style I am an active listener who also provides guidance and feedback when appropriate. I believe in an active dialogue between therapist and client, which strengthens the therapeutic relationship. My journey to therapy I believe goal setting should begin during the first session and continue as an ongoing discussion. It should be a collaborative effort that meets the client's needs. My goals for you Goal setting is a shared process that starts in our first session and evolves over time to support your progress. My first session with you The first session is an information-gathering opportunity for me to get to know you, while you can ask questions and engage in open dialogue. It also marks the beginning of goal setting and identifying benchmarks for your progress.
