Norma Bernardez-Ruiz, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who works with children, teens, and adults. I offer therapy services at our Owen Brown, MD clinic. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I use a compassionate, down-to-earth approach tailored to your needs.

If you’re reading this, you might be feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start—and that’s okay. You don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. We’ll take things at your pace and work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

I take a collaborative, supportive approach to therapy where we work together to understand your experiences and what you need most. I work with individuals across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.

I truly value creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can show up as your authentic self. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

Please note that when communicating with our intake team over the phone, all calls will start in English. Translation services will be offered once you connect with a member of our intake team.
