Hello, my name is Ruth Villarreal, I am a bilingual Associate Clinical Social Worker providing therapy to clients who experience mental illness, crisis and trauma. I have worked with clients through issues such as stress and anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, depression, anger management, intimate partner violence, drug and alcohol use, among others. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. While my techniques focus on your thoughts, behaviors, and mindfulness, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Creating lasting changes through therapy is not always an easy process, but I will be here to support you every step of the way. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
