Ruby Ellen Brayman, LICSW

Ruby offers individual therapy for adolescents and adults. She brings a warm, direct, and collaborative approach to the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where clients feel supported, understood, and able to engage in honest exploration. Ruby believes meaningful change comes from both insight and action, and she works alongside clients to untangle unhelpful thought patterns, process core wounds, and build practical tools for moving forward.

Her clinical approach is adaptable to each client’s needs and draws from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parts work, and strengths-based frameworks. Ruby has a particular interest in helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps reconnect with themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, and move through life with greater clarity and confidence.

She is committed to helping clients approach themselves with compassion while making meaningful, sustainable changes in their lives and relationships.
