Trauma and PTSD
With EMDR and trauma-focused care, painful memories lose their grip, so the past stops steering the present. You don’t need to relive every detail to heal.
On the outside, you’re holding it together.
Inside, you feel exhausted, foggy or quietly overwhelmed. You’ve been carrying a lot: grief, trauma, stress, or a life change that shifted everything.
Ria works with individuals and partners who are ready for meaningful change. Her care is neuroscience-informed, holistic and trauma-sensitive, so you can feel calm in mind, body and spirit again.
You deserve more than coping. You deserve to heal.

Meet Ria
Ria Ruane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with 10 years in practice in Southwest Florida.
She holds an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional trained in EMDR. Before counseling, she taught, and she still brings a teacher’s patience to every session.
Her practice takes its name from a promise she holds close: all things can be made new. Christian counseling is available for those who want faith to be part of their healing, and never assumed for those who don’t.
