Dr. Rutt's Approach to Therapy

My passion is to help people through some of the most difficult times in their lives. I believe that good therapy starts with a trusting and collaborative relationship. My approach in therapy is nonjudgmental, down-to-earth, and evidence-based. I work to create a place where you feel safe and able to talk about the things that are important to you. I have had comprehensive training in a wide variety of psychotherapies. I draw from multiple approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
