Getting to know Lizette Ruiz

Hi there, I'm Lizette! Hi! My name is Lizette, and I'm a bilingual, bicultural therapist and proud daughter of immigrants. As a Latinx therapist of color, I am passionate about social justice and serving the BIPOC community. I want to help you find insight and meaning, build on your strengths, and provide a safe, supportive space for growth and healing. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, which has equipped me with the skills to support clients effectively and compassionately. My approach As a Latina and first-generation college graduate and professional, I am aware of how Latino culture shapes who we are-our strengths and areas for growth. I offer a judgment-free space where you can focus on healing and breaking generational cycles that no longer serve you. My focus I am passionate about helping kids develop a growth mindset and resilience as they navigate life's challenges. I also work with Latinx and BIPOC clients addressing generational patterns that inhibit the full development of their authentic selves. I enjoy working with young professionals in the BIPOC and Latinx communities, especially first-generation higher education students or graduates and children of immigrants. I specialize in treating stress and anxiety, mild to moderate depression, codependency, phases of life, and professional burnout/compassion fatigue. My communication style Therapy with me is a space to talk, explore, and learn about Western psychology alongside your personal and cultural strengths. We share stories and create new ones to help you navigate your mental health. Warmth, acceptance, authenticity, and understanding are what I offer each client. My goals for you My approach to goal-setting is deeply collaborative and inclusive, considering clients' diverse backgrounds, including generation, race, culture, and ethnicity.
