Please welcome one of our new providers 🤗💛—Karinne Ruff, LMSW, is an outpatient therapist currently providing services in both the Green Forest School District and the Harrison office. She works with children, adolescents, and adults—serving clients as young as five years old—and supports a wide range of emotional and behavioral needs.
With three years of experience in the mental health field, Karinne has a background in working with children in foster care, helping reunify them with their biological families. This experience sparked her passion for digging deeper into family dynamics and providing clinical services that walk alongside children and families through challenges. She also utilizes trauma-informed approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Karinne is currently working toward her LCSW and is dedicated to continuing her growth as a clinician. Her approach focuses on meeting clients where they are, building strong therapeutic relationships, and helping individuals and families develop healthier patterns and connections.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, exploring new places, and seeking out new experiences that cannot be recreated.
She is grateful for the opportunity to serve the Green Forest and Harrison communities and looks forward to continuing to support clients in their growth and healing.
