Bernice Ruiz Baldwin, MS, RMHC-I

Registered Mental Health Counselor- Intern

Bernice Ruiz Baldwin, MS, LAMHC, IMH 19209I work with adolescents and adults that are experiencing depression, anxiety, and/or trauma that is inhibiting their everyday lives. I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I have specialized experience working with adolescents and young adults. Young people experience many unique pressures and stressors as they try to discover who they are and what they want to do. I am passionate about helping teens manage these challenges, which frequently arise within their family, friendships, school environment, or self-identity.

Therapy is not just for people with mental illnesses, someone grieving a loss, or someone who experienced a trauma. Therapy can reduce stress, improve relationships, and help with decision-making. I view you as an expert on your story. My approach has often been termed “conversational” by clients, who often felt that therapy did not feel like therapy.

Therapy works best when there is a good therapist-client relationship, curiosity for self-discovery, and honesty. I utilize comprehensive assessments to have a clearer understanding of diagnostic complexities to implement the most effective interventions. I look forward to working with you and helping you be the best version of yourself!
