Solution-Focused, Brief Therapy

The SFBT approach acknowledges the past, while staying in the present, to create a desirable future. A typical therapy experience consists of clearly identifying goals, barriers, and practical solutions to what you are wanting to achieve. SFBT interventions focus on using strengths and solutions to create successful outcomes.

SFBT effects are generally attained in six sessions, which is quicker than other therapy modalities.


Adult ADHD Assessments & Behavioral Therapy

Dr. Ruffin specializes in diagnosing and providing therapy to adults with ADHD. She helps patients gain control over symptoms that wreak havoc in their life, personally and professionally.

Evidence-based, clinically validated testing is utilized to diagnose adult ADHD.

After an initial workup, an ADHD assessment is completed, in-person. Next, personalized recommendations are provided based on the results from the assessment. The results from the assessment guide a tailored treatment plan.


Individual & Couples Therapy

SFBT principles are applied to both individual and couples therapy.

A common question: “Do I/we need to be “in crisis” or have “big” issues to benefit from therapy?” The answer is absolutely not. Many individuals and couples find benefits from therapy focused on enrichment, growth, and increased awareness and understanding.


Training, Education, and Workshops

Dr. Ruffin has extensive experience presenting education and workshops to organizations/groups, students, executives, attorneys, physicians, and other healthcare workers.

She also provides professional supervision, mentorship, and consultation services.
