Ruth Trujillo-Pertew, LCSW

Ruth Trujillo-Pertew, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NJ
Hello, I'm Ruth. I specialize in assisting individuals who may feel trapped in their relationships and lives. My approach revolves around the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM), which we will use to establish a safe, non-judgmental environment for exploring your past experiences, emotions, and repetitive patterns that may hinder your progress. With gentle guidance and compassion, I aim to enhance your awareness of body sensations, emotions, and thought patterns. Whether you long for deeper connections, face challenges with goals or procrastination, grapple with uncertainties about your wants and needs, or battle depression or anxiety, I am here to support you. Together, we will unravel barriers, identify recurring patterns, and chart a path toward transformative change. Our goal is to break free from limiting patterns and embrace the life you genuinely desire and deserve. I bring therapeutic expertise and a nurturing presence to help you regain personal agency and confidently pursue your aspirations. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the State University of New York, complementing my training in NARM, Psychodynamic Therapy, Strength-Based approaches, Client-Centered therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Insight-Oriented therapy, and Guidance and Counseling. Services are offered through secure video calls. Common challenges I work with include women’s issues, transitions, finding purpose and meaning, loss of motivation, relationship and family issues, depression, anxiety, identity issues, self-esteem, confidence, assertiveness, boundaries, childhood trauma, self-care, work-related issues, pandemic-related languishing, and substance abuse. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two young sons, reading, writing, and hiking in the woods—often spotting hawks and always searching for owls. Great job reaching out. I look forward to working with you :)

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to create a safe space to let you be yourself, be heard, understood and help you to reach your goals. Clients have shared that they feel heard, understood and have been able to clarify their goals, issues and feel more grounded.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session focuses on you and what you have been going through. I work with you to clarify, explore and gain insight, discuss possible ways of looking at a problem and possible ways of working with it. I pace the session based on each client's comfortability with psychotherapy.
