What former clients have said
-
“I want to say how lucky we are to have Libby Ruffing for a therapist. She is absolutely fantastic, honestly the best couples therapist we’ve ever had, and we’ve had a few over the 30 years we’ve been together!”
-
"I have benefitted immensely from my sessions with Libby. I have experienced her as kind, accommodating, nurturing, challenging, creative, flexible, responsive, and intuitive. I have brought both personal and professional challenges to therapy, and Libby has been an invaluable resource and guide for all of it. Not only has she been a great therapist for me, I have felt empowered to do my own meaningful work in a way that I feel like I truly own. Grateful!"

“When my wife & I were at loggerheads, feeling totally out-of-sync & could not understand each other at all, Libby did an amazing job of giving full empathy to one side, with broad & deep appreciation for that perspective, then pivoting & giving equally broad & deep empathy to the ‘other side.’ After that, we were better able to listen to each other.”
