Getting to know Dr. Ruth Faucette
To everyone around you, you may seem to have it all together — capable, accomplished, the one people count on — while privately carrying constant pressure, burnout, or self-doubt. That's who I most often work with: high performers, leaders, caregivers, and creatives navigating high-stakes roles, relationship strain, life transitions, and chronic illness. I also see individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict. My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and grounded in the simple belief that you shouldn't have to choose between achieving and feeling well.
Hailing from New England, I earned my Master's in Marriage & Family Therapy from Antioch University and my doctorate in Human Development, with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy, from Virginia Tech. I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Integrated Behavioral Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Before launching my private practice, I served as Director of Behavioral Health and Clinical Assistant Professor within a family medicine residency program, and I remain active in academia as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Arizona State University's College of Health Solutions. That clinical, research, and policy background shapes how I advocate for equitable, holistic care.
Outside the office, I'm a CrossFit athlete, a mentor to up-and-coming clinicians and underserved youth, and a traveler whenever life allows. I see clients in person in Scottsdale and online by video.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My work with you will be collaborative and honest: your values set the direction, and I'll tell you what I actually see rather than simply agreeing. We'll look at the whole picture—your relationships, your history, the patterns that once protected you and now cost you—and use whatever fits, whether that's insight and conversation, practical strategies, or, when words aren't reaching it, mind-body work like Brainspotting.
Clients often tell me they feel relief sooner than they expected, and that the deeper change keeps building from there. Before we begin, I offer a complimentary consultation, because fit matters and you deserve to know how this feels before you commit.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session is a comprehensive intake. I'll ask about your history, your relationships, and what brought you here. That picture shapes your care from the first session.
From there, we build your treatment plan together. We identify the goals that matter to you and the milestones that tell us you're reaching them. In session, I draw on attachment-based and solution-focused therapy, adapting the mix to you rather than applying a template.
Sessions are typically weekly and last up to 60 minutes. The best outcomes come when you're actively engaged—showing up honestly, practicing between sessions, and telling me when something isn't landing. Most clients work with me for three to six months, and some choose to keep therapy in their lives longer as part of ongoing wellness.
