Meet Ruth

Ruth M. Strunz, RP, CCC

Ruth is a Registered Psychotherapist, Canadian Clinical Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor. She provides psychotherapy, play-based therapy, parent counselling, clinical supervision, and professional training, in-person and virtually.

Ruth specializes in attachment-based therapy for individuals or families with autism/neurodivergence. In any important relationship and at any age, cross-neurotype relationships (where one person is neurotypical and the other neurodivergent) can feel challenging or confusing. Ruth works with neurodivergent individuals of all ages who struggle in relationships with important neurotypicals in their lives.

Ruth is ready to work together to help with whatever has led you here today!

Ruth's work is influenced by training in developmental and educational psychology and Relationship Development Intervention (RDI). Her therapeutic practice is enhanced by extensive clinical and lived experience in counselling psychology, sensory integration, cross-neurotype relationships, Adlerian parenting and mindfulness-based practices.

With neurodiversity-affirming guidance and support, parents of autistic/neurodivergent children can significantly improve their child's developmental trajectory and capacity for secure attachment. And likewise, Ruth knows that for people of all neurotypes, desired change happens within the context of a healthy, neurodiversity-affirming, therapeutic relationship.
