Marian Ruiz, M.A. Doctoral Intern
Languages in which I conduct therapy: English and Spanish
My approach to therapy: Simply put, I view therapy as an opportunity to work together to help identify and overcome whatever obstacle is bringing you in. I draw on different theories to conceptualize your concerns and present you with tools we can use to achieve your goals. Specifically, I use the biopsychosocial model which suggests that concerns are generally shaped by our biology, psychology and social context. I also draw on the cognitive-behavioral model which indicates that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and influence one another. I utilize evidence-based interventions such as, Cognitive behavior Therapy (CBT) and . In our work together, we may examine unhelpful thought patterns or behaviors and develop a broad range of coping skills in line with your goals.
