Daniela Ruiz, MC, LPC, NCCshe/her

I want to inspire others to take action in prioritizing their mental health. As someone who has personally navigated my own mental health journey, I know how hard this path can be and what it takes to build the life you desire and deserve. Healing rarely comes without difficulty, and reaching out for support is a real and meaningful first step.

My approach is strength-based and collaborative. I draw from several different models, including CBT, solution-focused therapy, and self-compassion work, to meet you where you are. I ask questions, I listen, and I check in with you along the way. I want to make sure we are working on what actually matters to you, and I will always ask before shifting direction.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with a Master of Counseling degree from Arizona State University and over 20 years of experience working across school, home, and clinical settings with individuals and families. I am also a proud Highly Sensitive Person, and I believe that quality shows up in the genuine rapport I build with my clients.

I work with children, teens, adults, and families, and I offer individual sessions, family sessions, and groups including my Feelings Club for elementary-aged kids and TRUE Talk and Tea, a women's support group. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds.
