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

Sessions feel like having a trusted professional to help you navigate emotional challenges. You can expect a supportive environment where you openly express thoughts and feelings, and we collaborate on your journey to emotional well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental healthcare stems from a deep desire to help others overcome personal obstacles, build resilience, and lead more fulfilling lives. I'm committed to supporting you on your path to emotional well-being.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you gain deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Together, we'll enhance self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and equip you with tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll discuss your current concerns, history, and goals for therapy. This allows me to understand your unique situation and develop a personalized treatment plan. You can expect a safe space to openly express yourself as we start building a strong therapeutic alliance.
