Introduction

Hi, I’m Andres J. Ruiz, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I began my work in mental health through community-based settings, supporting children, adolescents, and families navigating complex life challenges. Over time, that experience grew into a deep commitment to serving individuals facing trauma, high-stress environments, and major life transitions. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with foster youth, justice-involved individuals, immigrant families, and couples. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD), attachment issues, impulse control, and relationship challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT with narrative therapy, expressive arts, and practical life-skills development. I’m the founder of Ruma Inc. and Pride Rock Wellness, where I develop accessible and creative mental health programs that use storytelling, games, writing, and visual art to support healing and growth. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, strengthening identity, and developing tools that support long-term resilience. I offer services in both English and Spanish and strive to make therapy practical, culturally responsive, and meaningful to your everyday life.
