Samantha Ruiz, LCSW

Samantha Ruiz (she/her/hers)

I believe therapy is a safe nonjudgmental space to share your story. In our work together, we will create a trusting relationship where you can feel heard and supported while exploring your feelings and experiences.  My focus is to reflect on your experiences, develop coping skills to manage stressors, and gain insight to assist in the healing process. My approach to therapy is relational, as well as using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and mindfulness, while maintaining a culturally appropriate lens.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families in both educational and outpatient settings. Having worked in school systems, I am knowledgeable about school and educational processes and school related behaviors. When working with children and their families, I incorporate play and art therapy interventions in my work. My focus areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • ADHD
  • School Related Stressors
  • Behavior Difficulties
  • LGBTQIA+ Affirming Trauma

Credentials:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker, State of Pennsylvania
  • Master of Social Work, Temple University
