About Ruth Racz

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama who has spent 14 years working with individuals with a variety of mental illness diagnoses including psychotic disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, and co-occurring conditions in the community mental health setting. I received my Master’s Degree from Troy University in 2011 and have been working at the same company full-time since then. I have been married for 27 years, and we have 3 boys (25, 22, and 10). I like for our interactions to be conversational and will use reality therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness. In this space, you are free to be who you are and talk about what is important to you. There will be no judgment, and I urge you to be real and talk about whatever you want. You are taking the first steps to a better life, and I am glad to be here for it.

“I love her so much! Our sessions are always very thorough, understanding, and helpful. I've only had her as my therapist for a few weeks and have recommended betterhelp to so many friends who are also curious about therapy because of how amazing she is. She has helped me work through so much in the short time of talking to and knowing her!”

“Ruth is amazing, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring as a therapist! In the short time I’ve known her, she has became very dear to me. She has made my experience with BetterHelp exactly what I needed it to be. I highly recommend. 100/10”

“She has helped me through one of my worst times in my life and I will be forever thankful. She is amazing!”

“Ruth has been great to work with! She’s very kind, compassionate, and really makes you feel heard during sessions. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Ruth is so wise and I enjoyed talking with her. If you’re reading this and considering therapy, please talk to someone. She was so helpful to me (first time in therapy). She listens and gives great advice and her voice is very calming.”

“I am a strong advocate for mental health among teachers and I have suggested BetterHelp several times.”

“Always on time. Asks questions to make me think critically.”

“Ruth has been very present with listening to my gripes, complaints and concerns. She has shared several pieces of advice that I have found useful thus far.”

“Ruth is such an amazing, supportive therapist. Her style is very laid back and casual (at least in our conversations) and that is just what I love. I don’t constantly feel like I need to solve a problem, but rather I can just share what’s on my mind and know that she’ll give me support. With that being said, though, Ruth can get down to business when need be and help me realize what may be going on and how to change it and what steps I can take to see improvement.”

“She is an absolute down to earth person. Highly recommend using her even the workshops are great that she recommends.”

“Ruth is very thorough in our sessions.”

“I absolutely love her. She is very attentive and challenging when i need it. She asks all the right questions to help lead me to the reasons thoroughly.”

“Ruth is such a lovely therapist! I feel very comfortable opening up to her. She is easy to talk to and creates an environment where it feels like you’re talking to a friend.”

“Ruth is very insightful and listens to everything I say and type. Thanks Mrs. "T" Ruth!”

“She is a great communicator and easy to talk to.”
