I'm delighted you have arrived here, after noticing something in you or your life is asking for your attention & care. A willingness to look into your inner self & experience reflects hope in the possibility of transformation. For many, this journey begins with a feeling that something is unbalanced, unresolved, or unreachable. Perhaps you've experienced concern about your emotional & mental well-being for awhile and now sense a readiness to open to your suffering as a pathway to healing. Or something unexpected has compromised your usual way of coping, and you believe uncovering your resilience will move you through the adversity.

I'm Dr. Ruth Schumacher-Martinez. I'm so glad you understand you deserve support! I want to help you navigate from dread, stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck to experiencing calm movement and energy in advancing your goals. One size does not fit all and when your brain is wired differently life can feel like you are wearing clothes that don’t fit. Finding comfortable, accessible spaces is tough for everyone, but when you have a built-in difference that is invisible to others, it can seem an insurmountable obstacle. My goal is to to be a psychologist who “gets it” and helps you develop the skills you need to create the life you want.

I have worked with many people over the years; young children, adolescents, young adults, adults, all with various issues. Many of the clients I see are struggling with anxiety, worries, depression, chemical use, relationship concerns, or parenting dilemmas. Often times, people are most helped by having someone to listen, to help them explore the issue, and to find solutions that work for them. My 35 years of experience have given me insight into what strategies are most effective. I am licensed and skilled in both mental health and chemical use issues.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with adults and couples of all kinds looking to break the unhealthy cycles that cause us to get stuck.

I am warm, empathetic, and value the work you put into being your best. I strive to make therapy a personalized experience that you feel is helpful and not just a quick fix.

At the core of my work is a radical healing relationship that attunes to whatever is calling for your attention. Whatever feelings or parts of you you've learned were unlovable, unacceptable, or bad, I welcome here. Together, we can sensitively tune in and learn to see and relate to these parts differently. I help people remember how to be with themselves, the sensations in their body, their messy humanness, and their awe-inspiring magic. Here, your autonomy is central, and your care is organically holistic.

As an integrative practitioner, I meet clients where they are at in life. Healing and wellness is part of our life journey, and reaching out to others is often a necessary part of the healing process. Life hands us tough challenges, these are not meant to break us, rather to help us define who we are and better understand what our journey means. Often times we feel like we are broken, or simply don't fit in; these are opportunities to intentionally explore whether we are living our authentic life, or trying to follow someone else's path.
