Luis E. Ruiz, LCSW

Clinical Director · Therapist

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience providing counseling focused on anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, PTSD, and family and relationship issues.

I believe the goal of therapy is to help clients achieve their personal goals and live life to the fullest using evidence-based psychotherapy. I embrace the therapeutic relationship as an opportunity to connect with clients using a collaborative approach.

I am retired from the U.S. Army and completed two combat tours in Iraq. I am a devoted husband to my wife, Micaih, and a loving parent to my two wonderful children, Haley and Cainaan.
