About
Ruth Avalos, LCSW
I'm a Los Angeles based, DBT-LBC certified therapist who specializes in working with individuals who struggle with chronic and intense emotion dysregulation. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, parents, families, and couples. My passion is in providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for you as you learn how to access your own inner wisdom and to help you strengthen your own strategies for managing your own emotions, relationships, and goals to help you build a life you find meaningful.
​
I provide individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, individual DBT skills training, and parent coaching. I utilize evidence-based practices including DBT, CBT, PE, ACT, and ERP to help my clients achieve emotional well-being and healthier relationships.

Adults & Adolescents (13+)
I specialize in individual therapy and work with clients to develop personalized treatment plans to address their specific emotional health needs. I provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, and develop effective strategies to improve their overall well-being.

Adults (18+), all relationship structures welcome
I offer couples therapy to help partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship. I love to work with high-conflict couples to address relationship challenges and facilitate a deeper understanding and connection between partners.

My family therapy sessions aim to improve family dynamics and enhance effective communication among family members. I work with families to address short-term and long-term issues, build stronger connections, and create a supportive and nurturing family environment where each member can thrive.
