Getting to know Ruby Walker

Hi there, I'm Ruby! Ruby Bridges Walker, LCSW, earned her Master's in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a sex therapist and vocal advocate for queer liberation, harm reduction, and every human's right to heal and experience their best possible life. Ruby believes the key to great therapy is finding that perfect balance between safety and growth. My approach As a sex therapist, I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to support your growth. My practice borrows from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I practice from a trauma-informed, sex-positive, harm-reduction perspective. My focus My specialties include LGBTQ issues, interracial relationships and bi/multiracial identity, non-monogamous and alternative relationships, sexual empowerment, and out-of-control sexual behaviors. I also work with neurodivergent clients with adult ADHD and autism. My communication style My practice is a welcoming and 100% judgment-free space-but I'm also not afraid to tell it like it is! I use radical honesty and self-disclosure to build strong relationships with my clients. The way I see it, there's nothing worse than paying for therapy just to hear somebody ask, “How does that make you feel?” and agree with you for an hour. My goals for you In my previous job working with foster teens, goal setting was a huge part of the work. I have experience helping clients set and reach goals-from eating healthier to being a better partner to getting that promotion.
