Getting to know Ruth Clavelo
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate life complexities, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and many other mental health challenges. My goal is to help you reclaim agency over your life and empower you to optimize your physical and mental well-being through intentional, compassionate care. Together, we will create a safe, supportive space where healing begins with hope and tangible intention.My therapeutic approach is eclectic, strength-based, and grounded in the principles of whole person care. Because your path is entirely unique, I integrate lived experience with evidence-based practices to build sustainable strategies for lasting personal growth. I draw from a wide range of modalities—including psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness—while utilizing the practical principles of harm reduction and SMART Recovery to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and resiliency. I am bilingual and speak English and Spanish.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
