Hello, my name is Michelle Ruiz and I am a Registered Psychologist and a Canadian Certified Counsellor. My diverse work with clients has ranged from group homes, federal halfway houses, community agencies, Provincial treatment and private practice.
Currently I am a provider at Ward and Associates Psychological Services. I experience great purpose in helping people heal and grow from their pasts, adversities, hardships or transitions. I have a special interest in trauma therapy and specialize in working with first responders.
I work with adult clients around a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, occupational stress injuries, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), early childhood trauma and relational concerns. My work with clients through the Workers Compensation Board has a strong focus on navigating workplace stressors, processing workplace traumas and building resiliency.
I work from a client-centred, attachment-based approach, knowing that we are relational beings with core needs that deserve to be discovered and known. I work collaboratively with my clients to draw upon their existing resources and to help them develop new coping tools. My integrative approach also includes Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Brainspotting and Experiential Therapy.
