About

In the realm of mental health counseling, art becomes a powerful catalyst for healing and self-discovery under the guidance of Ruth Bybee, LPC, M.S. Art Therapy & Counseling. With a unique skill set developed at Eastern Virginia Medical School, Ruth seamlessly blends traditional counseling techniques with the transformative power of artistic expression.

Ruth's therapeutic approach is as diverse as the palette she employs in her sessions. Specializing in a wide range of mental health concerns, she adeptly addresses depression, anxiety disorders, and mood-related issues. Her expertise extends to more specific areas such as self-injury and anger management, demonstrating her ability to tackle complex emotional challenges. Ruth's practice is particularly noteworthy for its focus on child and adolescent artistic expression, offering young clients an invaluable outlet for processing their experiences and emotions.

The breadth of Ruth's experience is evident in her professional journey. She has honed her skills through years in private practice, where she's had the opportunity to refine her therapeutic techniques and deepen her understanding of diverse client needs. Her residency experience, partly completed in a federally funded treatment center, allowed her to work with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, further expanding her repertoire of skills and enhancing her ability to connect with a wide range of clients.

Ruth's academic background forms the cornerstone of her practice. Her Master of Science in Art Therapy and Counseling from Eastern Virginia Medical School equipped her with a distinctive ability to use art materials for both clinical assessment and therapeutic intervention. This unique combination of art and science allows Ruth to offer a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the verbal and non-verbal aspects of her clients' experiences.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Ruth brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work with both adolescents and adults. Her practice stands as a testament to the power of creative expression in the healing process, offering clients a safe space to explore their inner worlds and work towards positive change.
