Empowerment. Hope. Change.
Life may not always go as planned, but we can choose a meaningful path forward.
Meet Bernice Ruiz Baldwin, MS, LMHC
I possess specialized experience in working with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma that are hindering their day-to-day lives. I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. We face many unique pressures and stressors as we discover who we are and what we want. I am passionate about helping manage these challenges that frequently arise within family, friendships, or self-identity.
Therapy is not just for people with mental illnesses, someone grieving a loss, or someone who experienced a trauma. Therapy can reduce stress, improve relationships, and help with decision-making. I view you as an expert on your story. My approach has often been termed “conversational” by clients, who often felt that therapy did not feel like therapy.
Therapy works best when there is a trusting therapist-client relationship, curiosity for self-discovery, and honesty. I look forward to working with you and helping you be the best version of yourself!
