Introduction

My name is Rakiya "Rocky" Ruiz and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with teens and adults—including LGBTQIA2S+ individuals—experiencing sleep difficulties, stress, relationship challenges, or the lingering effects of past trauma. We will work together to improve sleep, build confidence, and strengthen connections with yourself and others. I integrate a personalized approach that respects your unique identity, experiences, and values. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. Together, we untangle patterns, build coping strategies, and strengthen connection, so you feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of your life. I know reaching out can feel hard when life or relationships feel overwhelming. You don’t have to face it alone. I’m passionate about this work because helping people feel understood, empowered, and capable of meaningful change is deeply rewarding. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out—I’d be honored to support your journey!
