At times, we all experience emotional struggles, pain and difficulties, whether it be as children, adolescents or adults. These times can feel overwhelming, frustrating and exhausting. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space to share these struggles and work towards accomplishing your goals. I can provide strategies and guidance through difficult times and will strive to help you reach a sense of well-being.

I have over 10 years experience working with children, teens, adults, families and couples. My professional experience includes work with trauma, grief, abuse, violence in families, substance abuse, issues pertaining to poverty, bullying, parenting, options counseling, and life transitions. My areas of expertise include EMDR and Sandplay Therapy. Please visit my website at www.ruthweinberg.com for more information.

My eclectic approach to understanding relationships uses what is relevant from the whole therapeutic spectrum. My client-centered training includes body psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, and holotrophic breath work. I also work with the biofield and chakra systems.

In addition to being a college professor and exercise instructor on both coasts, I lived in Intentional Communities and wrote Exploring Intimacy: Cultivating Healthy Relationships through Insight and Intuition while traveling abroad.

I have worked with clients for 15 years, and practiced meditation for 30+ years. I am available for private sessions or to speak to your group or organization.
