Hello!
My name is Ruta Nuguse and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with Rise Above Psychological Services.
My parents immigrated to Canada from a small country in Africa called Eritrea in the early 80’s and I’ve had the privilege of growing up on Treaty 6 land. My passion for mental health began with my interest in understanding the impacts of intergenerational trauma on BIPOC communities and how using a holistic lens and honoring one's whole self can support us on our path of healing and growth.
I believe that everyone has a unique identity and I like to support clients by being present and providing a safe and non-judgemental space. I work from a collaborative and culturally sensitive lens, incorporating different modalities to best fit my clients needs. This includes, trauma informed practices, mindfulness, EMDR, trauma focused CBT, DBT, art expression, play therapy and person-centered therapy. I currently work with individuals ages 10+ and groups.
You can see me at our west office, south office or virtually!
