Intro

Hi, I'm Adriana Ruiz, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor-Intern in San Antonio, Texas. I have experience working with veterans and first responders facing mental health challenges and addiction. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I believe every person’s journey is unique, and I’m dedicated to providing care tailored to your individual needs. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My passion for working with Prosper Health stems from a commitment to helping individuals who feel lost and are searching for direction. It can be discouraging to not have a sense of direction, which is why I am dedicated to supporting those facing challenges with their identity, life path, and other inner struggles. We can create a path that empowers you to use the skills you've developed to navigate and overcome life's challenges.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I bring an affirming and strength-based approach to my work by focusing on a client’s unique strengths, abilities, and potential rather than solely on challenges. I empower clients to build confidence in their abilities, see themselves as capable of overcoming obstacles and live an authentic life based on their values and beliefs.
