I work with people who are ready to make a change, however aren't sure where to start. My clients often find themselves overwhelmed with their daily responsibilities. Most people who start therapy feel like they are going round in circles, repeating negative emotions. They feel they do not always have enough time for self-care. People may describe them as the "strong" or "nice" friend. They find it may be tough to say no to others. They do not want to be seen as mean or judgement, so they hold back certain parts of their authentic self. They would like to be who they truly are, and not who everyone wants them to be.

I'll provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. We all feel anxious when we forget what our strengths and gifts are. Growing to love and appreciate our strengths and gifts gives perspective to help the challenges we face.

Hello! Ruth Roddy, here! I've spent the past 9 years devoted to the stabilization and treatment of eating disorders. I have been a therapist and in leadership at all levels of care in multiple treatment settings. I work with adolescents (all genders) and adults who experience body image distress and minor to extreme eating disorder behaviors. I am passionate about women's issues (identity, motherhood, gender roles, expectations). My experience is that the more you lean into establishing your values and building your relationships the less focused on your body you will become.

I believe that every person is immeasurably valuable, unique, and made in the image of the Creator. Sometimes having a compassionate therapist who will create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your emotional burdens can be the greatest catalyst for personal change and growth. I am committed to giving my clients 100% of my attention, energy, and effort, because you are loved, valued, important to God, and to me as a therapist. Taking the first step of reaching out to a counselor can seem like the most difficult, but it may also be the decision that leads to life-changing growth, healing, and discovery.

Therapy can be very helpful in addressing problems you may be having in your life. If you struggle with relationship problems, decision making, depression, anxiety, self esteem, impluse control, trauma, substance abuse, grief, addiction or life transitions; I can provide a neutral non-judgmental space to explore and resolve these issues. Many people believe they should be able to solve problems on their own and seek help often waiting until the situation has grown unmanageable. However, early interventions and proactive actions tend to lesson the impact of painful experiences, allowing you to move past problems more easily and quickly.

I work with a variety of clients with a variety of needs. The thing that most of them have in common is a feeling of being a bit stuck. Many of my clients are experiencing transitions in life, transitions into new work environments or life phases. Other clients are needing to make a transition & I can help them weigh their options & process their choices. I believe at my core that none of us were intended to do life alone. My clients’ goals are usually pretty simple, they want to be more present in their lives and move forward in a meaningful way.
