Getting to know Ruya Urso
Hi there, I'm Ruya!
I am Ruya Urso, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from Webster University. I offer supportive, strength-based therapy to adults and families and have over 10 years of experience working with a broad spectrum of clients.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is integrative, utilizing various treatment modalities and techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs.
My focus
I typically work with adult clients, though I also have extensive experience with children and adolescents. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, women’s issues, infertility, personal growth and self-esteem, grief and loss, stress, life transitions, general relationship challenges (family, friends, co-workers), and family problems.
My communication style
I believe clients have an innate potential for growth and, with guidance and support, can persevere through difficult times. I emphasize empathy, compassion, and collaboration as essential for real change. Therapy helps develop the skills needed to cope with life’s challenges, and a strong therapeutic alliance is vital to making meaningful progress.
My goals for you
I focus on helping clients develop coping skills and make the changes necessary to live a more fulfilling and productive life, which guides the goals we set together in therapy.
My first session with you
In our first session, I concentrate on understanding what brought you to therapy in your own words and begin building rapport for a strong therapeutic alliance. Through intake questions, you’ll share general information about yourself and have the opportunity to ask any questions on your mind. You’ll also learn about informed consent, practice policies—including cancellation and communication procedures—and confidentiality.
