A connection that promotes growth
Meet Me
Risha Ruano-Zin
LMHC, NCC, EMDR, and Flash Trained, Founder of Healing Gardens Counseling Center
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor, who has been passionate about helping others overcome mental health challenges for the last 10 years. While I worked as a student educator through my undergraduate studies, I saw the impact unprocessed trauma, as well as untreated mental health issues, had on someone’s day-to-day life. It was this experience that led me to seek a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana Wesleyan University. I am fueled by my passion to help others heal from unprocessed mental health wounds that prevent people from living an authentic life.
My Approach
Because you are the ultimate expert on yourself, I believe you hold the answers to your troubles. My job is to help each client work through the barriers that are keeping them from reaching those answers. By walking alongside you, I will offer what I know and create space to collaborate with you on what path of treatment is best for you.
I strive to offer the most up-to-date treatment modalities to provide effective and efficient care. I approach clinical issues with a humanistic mindset as well as a neurobiological practice. I am trained in EMDR and Flash Technique, two treatment methods that help you move through difficult memories and current issues in an effective amount of time.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
