Work with Ruth Hood - BetterHelp Online Therapist

Ruth has been someone I have learned to rely on and it helps knowing that she is not only there but is there to support my goals as well as when I have issues that are preventing me from achieving my goals. She helps guide me and keeps me focused on my achievements. I’m overwhelmed on a daily basis she helps me see what I’m accomplishing. Directs me toward a better paths. Just by having someone who listens and gives feedback is helping. And by doing so gives me motivation to get back up. Thank you Ruth!

I have only met with Ruth once on a phone call, but from that first encounter with her she made me feel welcomed and listened to my concerns. I would really recommend Ruth to anyone that asks me for a good therapist that actually listens and doesn't treat her patients as just another number. When looking for my therapist I was looking for someone that would also add some Christian believes in our sessions and she has done it.... I truly love my therapist

Ruth Hood has been awesome. She has helped me with issues I couldn’t talk to others about without feeling judged. The coping skills she has taught me have been very useful. I’d type a lot more but it’d be a full page or more about how she has helped me even though we’ve only talked weekly. Just what she says and how she understands my situation. My stress has dwindled so much. A few times it was like she put my shoes on, understood and walked right through it with me. Ruth your awesome!

I started meeting with Ruth a month ago, live sessions once a week. I have never felt more comfortable talking to a “stranger” than I do with her. She gives the maternal vibe; relaxed, open, honest (not in a harsh honest way), and always has a smile!! When I had my first session, I was extremely anxious, scared of judgement, scared of opening up. She made me feel 100% at ease the second we connected. She listens. She gives ideas of how to counteract my mind. She makes me feel like I’m chatting with a close friend. I’m happily, but anxiously, looking forward to our future meets. I know she can help me…..she can help you too!!!!!!!
