Getting to know Wendy Ruiz

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a person-centered philosophy, grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s unique journey. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. In our sessions, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where we can explore your challenges together and build practical tools for growth and healing. As a bilingual therapist, I offer services in both English and Spanish, helping clients feel fully themselves in the language that’s most comfortable.

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.
