About Ruth Barrett
Warm and accepting, balancing empathy with expertise, I focus on solutions and strengths that can be hard to see in the midst of a crisis. I get to the heart of the matter quickly, helping you to feel, think, and function better effectively in both the long and short term. Whether seeking help for specific problems or seeking personal growth and enlightenment, Sea Change MFT is a place for Profound Transformations.
With over almost two decades of experience helping couples, individuals, children, and families with a variety of concerns, along with my doctorate in MFT, I bring a variety of tools and knowledge to help my clients to heal and grow, to achieve the kind of well-being and relational health that enhances and enriches lives.
I offer a free initial consultation, and I invite you to meet with me to see whether we are a good fit for your needs and for me to provide you with helpful referrals as needed. Uncertainty about starting counseling is understandable, and I am happy to provide this service.
