Getting to know Rachelle Ruby

I am passionate about building trust and providing a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and understood. I believe therapy offers an opportunity for self-growth in many areas, and I empower you to take an active role in creating positive change. I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach to tailor treatment based on your specific needs and goals. Some of the approaches I use include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Crisis Management. I have experience working with a broad range of concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, domestic violence, trauma and stress-related disorders, relationship issues, emotional dysregulation, communication and social skills, behavioral issues, and adjustment/life transitions. I hold specialized training certificates in Domestic Violence and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and I am a trainer in Trauma Crisis Intervention for Families (TCI-F). In addition to private practice, I provide therapeutic services to adolescents and young adults who have experienced complex trauma as they prepare to transition to independence. My work in social services has shown me how genuineness, compassion, and a strong therapeutic relationship can positively impact your journey toward a healthier you. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and my Bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa. I moved to Chicago seven years ago from Iowa-go Hawkeyes! Transitioning from small-town Iowa to big-city living was quite the experience. I truly believe that taking a chance on myself helped me grow into the compassionate clinician I am today.
