My name is Vailea Rutty. I earned my master’s degree in Social work from the University at Albany. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy working with individuals to help navigate life challenges whether they be personal, with family, or with peers. I have served and supported families who have experienced foster care and preventive services. I incorporate CBT, and strength-based therapy by using an empathetic approach to help empower and encourage individuals to achieve their therapeutic goals. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients. I believe we all deserve a space to heal, learn, and grow. I would love the opportunity to work with you and help guide you through this journey.
