Hello there! My name is Yeney Ruiz, I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Florida. I speak English and Spanish, and I have over 10 years of clinical experience in different settings such as the emergency department, department of Children and Families, AIDS healthcare foundation, Assisted Living, home health, skilled nursing home, housing authority, dialysis/renal patient care, case management, elementary, high school and other settings. My field and clinical experience have helped me build a strong background working with a diverse population. I have my Bachelor’s and master’s in social work, and I am looking forward to working in collaboration with you and helping you gain your strength back so that you can continue with your beautiful journey in this life. My goal as a therapist is to help you and my approach is to work in collaboration with you. We will work together to create healthy coping skills and we will use different tools and strategies created to gain strength, motivation, self-confidence, self-esteem and we will work together in a safe environment to achieve the best results for you as a client. I am pleased to know that you have decided to seek therapy! Life can be very challenging at times and sometimes we need to talk to someone that understands us and helps us get back to our stable/normal self. I hope I can be part of this part of your healing journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As we start our journey to healing, we will work together and create an alliance using strategies to maximize our potential. You can expect to feel empowered, and motivated and as we move forward, you will feel that you are growing and transforming into a better version of yourself. My main goal is to be there for you and help you through the process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strength is my experience working with all different populations and all ages. Through the years I have learned to understand and respect the different backgrounds that shape every individual's behavior and their way of thinking. I strongly believe in the power that we all have as humans to adjust and adapt, and by doing so we become resilient and stronger. My strength is the ability I have acquired to get the best out of people, even in their darkest days.

The power of Self-Acceptance is the foundation for a better future. I help clients by focusing on their goals, values, strengths and I provide them with the tools to become stronger and resilient when facing difficulties, all based on their own strength building abilities.
