Rachel Ruiz, LCSW, PMH-C, began their journey as a poet and eventually found a calling in social work. Today, as a therapist-activist, Rachel has spent over a decade working closely with families, helping them reconnect and rediscover their bonds. While an adventurer at heart, Rachel stays close to her home in the Sierra foothills of Northern California, hiking and running to channel her rage. Rachel’s approach to parenting (and life) is deeply influenced by neurobiology, developmental psychology, and, of course, a bit of fun.
One mom and Licensed Clinical Social Worker explores the ironic brilliance of her postpartum rage and urges other moms to let themselves feel more fully.
