About Ruby Politano
Ruby is a Salem State University alum, where she earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work. She works primarily with children, adolescents, families, and young adults with varying needs. Ruby utilizes a person-centered approach, guiding clients toward their own goals at their own pace. She believes the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, built by meeting clients where they are, with compassion and understanding.
She incorporates CBT and DBT models while using mindfulness to support clients in healing. She also recognizes that each person needs a tailored approach and is flexible in meeting those needs. Ruby is passionate about working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, relationship challenges, school and work stress, family struggles, and trauma.
