Ruby Wade, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ruby!

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, persistent sadness, and cycles of negative emotions. I offer video, no-video, and phone appointments to meet your comfort level. You're not alone, and there's a path forward.

My focus

I work with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, negative emotions, relationship challenges, stress management, and building resilience. Let's connect and explore how we can light the path to a brighter, more balanced you.

My approach

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can voice concerns without fear. Together, we'll explore effective coping mechanisms and build strategies to navigate emotional challenges and life's stressors.

My communication style

Imagine having a professional to help you navigate emotional challenges, or a trusted space to voice your concerns without fear of judgment. That's the environment I strive to create for my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

During our first session, we will take the time to discuss your current concerns, history, and goals for therapy. This will allow me to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation and begin developing a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs.

My goals for you

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2014 and completed my PsyD in Psychology in 2019. My journey into mental healthcare stems from a deep desire to help others overcome personal obstacles, build resilience, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Our first session

My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, so you can develop effective coping mechanisms and build a more positive outlook on life.
