“I’m someone who doesn’t like feeling uncomfortable, but Ruby H. made me feel welcome right from the start. She clearly explained how her sessions work, what her plan was for the first meeting, and what to expect moving forward if I continued with her. I personally prefer in-person visits over virtual ones, especially since opening up about feelings isn’t easy for me—especially in a first session. Being there in person helped me feel more at ease, read the room, and better understand her tone and body language, which made a big difference in my experience. There was no sense of judgment at all—she came across as genuinely caring and respectful. She took the time to really listen, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel hopeful about continuing sessions. I would 100% recommend Ruby H. to anyone looking for a therapist.”

Getting to know Ruby Howes

*Mindful Therapy Group requires a credit card to be added to your account before your intake appointment with this Provider. After you book an appointment, a representative will call you to get your card information and confirm your appointment details.* Hi! My name is Ruby I graduated from the University of Wyoming with my MSW in 2021. I am a associate licensed clinicial social worker. I have a background working in residential treatment and community mental health. From this background I have learned how to better see clients as part of a whole picture and practice with an understanding of the impact of larger systems we all have to navigate. I have learned to tailor my clinicial approach to meet the needs of the individual client. I provide trauma-informed care to help clients identify how their past still affects them and help gain the skills and knowledge necessary to move beyond their past, maintain healthy relationships, and free yourself from feelings of shame and anger. I best serve clients with PTSD and trauma, attachment issues, in life transitions, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I also have a special interest in LGBTQAI2S+ clients and helping clients access gender affirming care.
