Getting to know Kelsey Ruiz
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
Close your eyes and imagine you are on a journey-a journey to become your best self. You look back and see every step, person, and setback that helped you reach your ultimate goal. If that journey feels uncomfortable and clouded over, I can help you create a clearer path.
I understand that the world can be a confusing and scary place, making even a single step forward feel overwhelming. As your therapist, I will be there alongside you every step of the way, providing a safe, comfortable space where you are free to share your true self.
I know from personal experience how important it is to take care of your mental health. My experiences have helped me learn from my challenges and become a stronger, healthier person, and my goal is to do the same for you. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Michigan University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you on your journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?
I have extensive experience helping individuals who are processing trauma and life transitions. My clients are typically looking to integrate their past life, culture, values, and identity into their present and future life while learning to understand themselves and what works best for them. Individuals may be experiencing life transitions into parenthood, marriage, divorce, adulthood, pre/post college, a queer identity, or a new diagnosis or disability.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My goal is to help you feel confident and supported, while encouraging you to make the best decisions for yourself. I aim to provide honesty and education where I can but trust that you know yourself best. We can use body movement and artistic expression to enhance our work together in addition to our talk therapy.
I want to empower you with the tools you need to overcome your challenges and face your fears. While you may feel alone in the world, you aren’t! I can help you build a strong supportive network, including myself, to help you keep going. I know from personal experience how important taking care of your mental health is. I want to help you find and love your true self and become a better, healthier, stronger version of you.
