Rate Ruthie Brooks

Ruthie has such a calming presence and I find her extraordinarily supportive. I find it easy to share with her and she provides tools to help solve my problems in a realistic way.

I have been working with Ruthie now for a couple years, and I always feel better after talking with her. She listens intently and helps me find the right direction to take on life issues. 10/10 would recommend!

Ruthie is a calming presence, kind, thoughtful and allows me to bring up multiple concerns. If I ask for practical tools to work on in between appointments she sends me links to resources and gives me simple mental excercises to do during my day. Ruthie's weekly goal suggestions for me are realistic and center around self compassion. I look forward to our time together!

Great listener

I would highly recommend Ruthie. She is great and has so much knowledge to share. She really listens to you and provides a nonjudgmental space.

Ruthie is so caring and kind. She gives me a safe place when there aren’t many in my life.

Ruthie's attentiveness was always on point! The written exercises that she had me complete really helped me collect thoughts in a way that I hadn't experienced. I believe her strengths lie in her ability to "hear" me and provide tools to continue healing and growing after our conversation is over. Additionally, the Better Help classes have always been timely. ..great variety and something for everyone.

Ruthie is wonderful and warm. She is a keen listener and someone who works with the client to assist in self-discovery. She helped me navigate, without judgement, my thoughts and feelings, and helped me to practice self compassion.

She's the best! So glad I got connected with her. I liked my therapists before in Pennsylvania, but I love her approach so much more even though sometimes it is hard and uncomfortable. I like that she doesn't just sit there and listen and occasionally say something, but that she's active in our sessions and gives me homework to really address my problem areas. Also that she forces me to confront the uncomfortable in a way that is gentle and safe. Hope to stick with her for as long as possible to help with my problems I have.

I am so thankful for finding Ruthie Brooks. I've always felt welcomed and safe to express myself, even in my lowest moments. Thinking back to where I was before, compared to where I am now, not only mentally, but also physically,... such a noticeable difference for the better. Whether it's a listening ear, another way to look at a situation, a new mental health practice, or a new resource for me to use, Ruthie came through for me. I honestly can't thank her enough for the value she's added to my life.

Ruthie's kindness comes through with every word. And behind that kindness lies wisdom, insight and gentle coaching. Even when things are hard to hear, she's a pleasure to talk with.

Ruthie's worksheets during my grief and recovery process have allowed me to think about what I'm really feeling and how I'm dealing with emotional upheaval. In our video sessions, she listens quietly and probes gently. The experience has been one that I've appreciated (and needed) so very much. I am 100% pleased.

Ruthie has been extremely awesome in helping me realize my thoughts in a structured and understandable fashion. I have never experienced therapy before, and this has been an absolutely lovely first look into the world of mental help that I will continue to appreciate in my everyday life. :D

Ruthie is very compassionate and listens in a non-judgemental way. She respects me and understands my concerns and works with me to improve on them, as opposed to telling me what to do. Highly recommend.

Fantastic

Ruthie is an incredible therapist. She is always empathetic to what I'm going through. Our work together has had a tremendously positive impact on my mental health. She provides great guidance and shares resources I can do outside of our sessions. I would recommend Ruthie to anyone who is dealing with loss, grief or depression.

She’s awesome

Ruthie is the best therapist I've had. She is patient and kind, but also she asks the right questions which challenge your ruminations and break the cycle. I love meeting for therapy every week with Ruthie and feel I am finally on the right track with my mental health for the first time in years.

Ruthie is everything I hoped a good therapist would be. She is patient, caring, extremely validating, she recommends the perfect book for wherever you are in your self healing journey, and she points out flaws in negative patterns of thinking. Every week I come out of our session feeling proud of the progress we made and looking forward to our next session together!

Omg Ruthie is an empathetic and understanding person. She helps me keep motivated and organised

I have a strong connection with my therapist. She understand me and help me work through whatever I’m dealing with.

Love BetterHelp

Out of all the counselors I’ve had, in the short amount of time I’ve been seeing her, I already feel a small change in myself and my mental health. I always look forward to our sessions because I know I’ll be heard.

I love her! She's always understanding, I never feel like I'm being judged or looked down on. Talking to her is easy and comfortable. She's made things easier for me to move forward in my healing process and I couldn't have asked for a better theraphist. She is absolutely amazing!

Ruthie has understood what my main concerns were from the start and has been helping me ever since. I'm more able to manage my anxiety and accept it when it happens. Ruthie always sends nice messages and quotes in between sessions, which are always appreciated. Could not recommend her enough!

Ruthie has been phenomenal and I feel that she takes the time to understand not just me but the issues I face. She works with me on allowing me to see different perspectives and has helped my relationship grow with my spouse. I know I still have a long way to go, but thanks to Ruthie my marriage is thriving and I could not be happier.

Ruthie is such a joy. She is very understanding and always finds way to make me feel that everything is going to be okay. Anyone who has a chance to talk to Ruthie should know that they’re in great hands!

Ruthie is always willing to listen and is also extremely understanding. Her tranquillity always makes me feel at ease during sessions.

Ruthie is simply the BEST therapist I’ve had! She listens, understand her clients and absolutely have helped me with my mental chaos. I definitely recommend, Ruthie!

Ruthie is wonderful. She is patient, warm, and kind. She offers practical tools and has a wide variety of approaches if one technique isn’t resonating. She is very skilled and I’ve benefited greatly from her expertise. I’d highly recommend Ruthie.

Ruthie has been so helpful to me in this journey of self-discovery. She's been very patient and kind with me as I work through my issues. During our sessions, she's always maintained a positive, nurturing attitude, which I really appreciate.

Ruthie’s great! She is very patient and kind. She pushes when she needs to and keeps me on track with my goals.

Ruthie's calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge has been so helpful for me in my journey of figuring out coping mechanisms for my anxiety. She's thoughtful and inquisitive while also allowing the session to be centered around what the client needs. I'm so glad I was able to be paired with her.

Ruthie is so down to earth, humble and knowledgeable. I enjoy working with her and appreciate all she has done for me thus far!

I am so happy I got paired with Ruthie Brooks. My sessions with her have been a positive and insightful experience. She provided me with worksheets and shared valuable knowledge that helped me get closer to my goals each week. As a result, I can see my relationships improving and I have a better understanding of myself. She is very professional, kind, and great at what she does.

Ruthie is incredibly patient and helpful. She listens when I feel like I need to just talk, and offers concrete strategies for how to move forward in what I’m struggling with. When I feel like I don’t want to do something about my issue, she keeps pushing me to think about the next step so I’m not stuck. I’d recommend Ruthie to anyone who’s having a hard time and wants a warm and pragmatic ear.

This app and Ruthie are such a great thing I really need it atm. We are working hard to make me a better me thanks Betterhelp and Ruthie

Its great. More effort on original matching would be great.

So far, my experience has been excellent. Ruthie is a compassionate listener and is very good at extracting the key issues from our conversations. Her advice has been very useful and I am always feeling much better after speaking with her. I also really like the online format. Strangely enough, it feels more relaxing and makes it easier for me to reflect on the essential rather than the anecdotal or circumstantial.

We've had a few weeks of sessions and Ruthie has been very supportive and insightful in guiding towards a sense of confidence from a place of helplessness. I look forward to more sessions.

Great counseling and input has really helped me reach my goals

Ruthie is a wonderful counselor. She is a great listener and her feedback has helped me greatly in my journey of self healing. I highly recommend her :)

I have seen several therapists, counselors, hypnosis therapist, and have tried numerous methods to help with my depression; as well as various medications that I've never reacted to well. Nothing has ever helped long term. Ruthie has been amazing. She's challenged me in ways that are comfortable, yet still a challenge. The methods she uses actually makes me focus on key points and makes me to think of things in a perspective I hadn't considered before. This has been refreshing from the usual therapist sessions I've been to. I have confidence that I'm making progress this time around. Thank you Ruthie!

Ruthie has brought a significant impact to my mental health in just two short weeks. I found her to be understanding, kind, and a great listener. Together we discovered the root of many of my problems and developed the best strategies to move on. I would recommend Ruthie to anyone.

I think BetterHelp matched me well, with Ruthie as my counsellor. We have only been chatting for a couple of months but already I hardly recognise myself, I have made so many improvements in my life. It’s like I am getting the ‘real me’ back again. I don’t know how Ruthie does it, as she is very gentle, but it has worked very well for me so far.

I love Ruthie. She is gentle and lets me explore my issues as she guides me to understanding past traumas in order to move forward in my life.

I always feel like Ruthie listens to my concerns and is very empathetic. She responds to my messages very quickly, and is always there when I need advice.

She has been extremely helpful and nice and I really like talking to her
