Ruth Strait Ellis is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-CP) with over 33 years of experience helping children, teens, and families navigate life's challenges. She has much experience collaborating with individuals of all ages, trying to navigate the stressors of life. As human beings, attachments shape one's worldview. When one experiences relationship trauma or fractures without repair, that worldview, and one’s view of self, can become damaged. Ruth has found these types of situations responsive to the approaches she uses. She specializes in loss, grief, trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues.
Ruth completed her Master of Social Work degree at the University of South Carolina. Ruth utilizes multiple treatment approaches, including EMDR, CBT, and solution-focused therapy. Her approach is client-centered and assumes that individuals have what is needed inside to heal wounds and find balance and purpose.
When your attachments are hurting or damaged, sometimes you might need help healing. If you are ready to do the work, schedule an appointment today!
