Ruth Kimani

A Psychologist and Child Therapist.  I have specialized training in Childhood Trauma response and Play Therapy intervention techniques. I am privileged to work with families and individuals from young children through older adults. I enjoy engaging with young children in play therapy on up through teens who have a desire or need for hope and change. Helping couples find the connection and safety with each other they crave is also a privilege and a joy. My goal is to serve others and truly make a difference as I walk beside and assist in the navigation of life challenges as clients find wholeness for themselves and in their relationships.

My studies and specialized training and experience include:
Child Therapy
Couples Therapy
Family Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Addictions
ADHD
Group Therapy
Play Therapy and various play therapy intervention techniques
Sand Tray Therapy
Shame and Guilt
Attachment
Adult Children of Alcoholics
PTSD
Depression
Anxiety
Behavioral issues

I was drawn to the helping profession through my love for relationships and a deep desire to understand emotional processes and healing. A wealth of life experience provides me with an ability to understand common patterns which affect most people in their journeys. I have a passion for emotional healing that improves relationships and the overall quality of daily experiences for each individual and family.
