Getting to know Ruth Clavelo

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience, I support individuals in optimizing their physical and mental well-being through intentional, compassionate care. My approach is eclectic and strength-based, drawing from Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and SMART Recovery principles to meet each client’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing begins with hope and intention. Grounded in the principles of Whole Person Care, I integrate lived experience with evidence-based practices to guide clients on their path to self-discovery and resilience. Together, we cultivate self-agency and build sustainable strategies for lasting personal growth and emotional wellness.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
