Mrs Ruth Blake

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“An experience and competent License Clinical Social Worker who specializes in servicing individuals above the age of 18+ years old with learning how to navigate the world while managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and postpartum. As a therapist, I utilize and modified therapeutic interventions for each person.”

About Me

When depression, anxiety, or postpartum symptoms make navigating daily life feel overwhelming, I offer support. I work with adults (18+) to help them develop practical ways to manage these feelings. Our sessions will be tailored just for you, exploring specific strategies to fit your unique needs. Together, we can find a clearer path forward, equipping you with tools for greater ease.

Approach

My work focuses on helping you translate relief into day-to-day routines by modifying therapeutic techniques to fit your life and goals. In Ferndale and through secure online sessions in English, meetings are predictable and paced to your energy—short check-ins, focused skill practice, and time to reflect. I blend practical exercises for mood and anxiety with postpartum-centered problem-solving, offering brief between-session tasks and adjusting methods as we see what works. Those seeking clear, manageable steps to feel steadier often find this approach helpful.
