Julie Ruiz, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support is a courageous step, especially when you’re feeling stressed, discouraged, disconnected, frustrated, or stuck. I truly commend you for taking that first step toward healing and growth.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside many individuals as they’ve worked through challenges like stress, worry, high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm, procrastination, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD, work-life balance, and more. You're not alone, and support is available.
In our work together, you can expect a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we’ll explore and gently challenge unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Together, we’ll uncover practical, empowering solutions that support lasting change.
As your therapist, you’ll find me to be calm, compassionate, respectful, open-minded, and genuine. With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor serving Michigan residents, I use evidence-based practices to help you leave therapy with effective coping tools, meaningful insights, and a greater sense of peace.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
