Ditch Feeling Overwhelmed, Rediscover Your Favorite Version of You

Online therapy for women across New York State

I help women who feel lost, disconnected, and overwhelmed to reprioritize themselves without feeling selfish or guilty.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ruby Rhoden and I know you didn’t get the “happily ever after” you were promised.

Whether you are a new parent, the “therapist” in your friend group/family, struggling with depression and anxiety, or dread turning into your parents, life didn’t go as promised and it is far from what you planned.

Despite being intelligent, dependable, and successful women, they consistently showed up for others but had trouble understanding and prioritizing their needs; they didn’t know how to ask for help and ultimately felt overwhelmed or burnt out.

  • They couldn’t be present or enjoy the moment and were constantly worrying and overthinking.

  • They worried about the health of their relationships because they were snappier, more irritable, and disconnected from most people in their lives.

  • They struggled in silence because they were usually the “strong one” or the one “with their shit together” and were desperately looking for relief.

My clients struggled.

or if they truly needed it because they were used to figuring things out on their own. They worried that connecting with and opening up a new person would be impossible because they are typically weary of new people. And they were pretty certain that a therapist would dismiss their feelings or urge them to look into medication (when they don’t like taking medication for headaches). They were the leaders and caretakers in their communities who were suffering in silence.

Like my clients, you deserve a soft place to land to be seen and heard without feeling ashamed or guilty. Re-discovering your favorite version of you is not out of your reach. I can help.

Before they came to see me, my clients wondered if therapy was right for them
