Ruth Dubon, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Ruth!

I provide psychotherapy to help individuals heal from trauma and childhood wounds, address negative thoughts, set necessary boundaries, improve self-esteem and confidence, and find their true self. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity issues, and relationship conflicts.

My focus

I work with teenagers and adults.

My approach

I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, inner-child work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. My therapy is interactive—I listen carefully, make connections about what may be causing your presenting problems, and relay back what I'm hearing from your narrative.

My communication style

I am analytical and empathetic, and I believe in the power of the relationship between therapist and patient. Patients describe me as warm and caring, approachable, and professional. I will be confrontational when it benefits you, always in a warm and respectful way to help you grow in insight.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy working with teenagers and adults, and my goal is to offer a corrective experience to all patients who may not have experienced positive reactions toward their authentic selves.

My goals for you

I help you reach an optimal level of functioning, increase insight into what drives undesired behaviors, identify and be comfortable with emotions, point out defense mechanisms to improve communication and self-awareness, and connect with your strengths to activate healthy behaviors that lead to positive changes.
