Ruth Viehoff, Clinical Psychologist

My clients describe me as:

Kind, warm, engaging, empathic. Ready to help you understand how you got here and how to change it.

Something to know about my approach is:

I assess your history and background to develop a plan together to reduce anxiety and build self-confidence. I help you unpack and understand yourself better while practicing new skills to calm yourself, assert your needs, and show up more fully.

Together, we will:

Explore your anxiety and worry; understand what's happening and how it relates to your past history; show empathy to yourself; learn skills to soothe emotion and begin to approach and take on things you've been avoiding

I specialize in working with people who:

are young and middle-aged perfectionists who feel worried, overwhelmed, and like they are too hard on themselves. I help my clients find a more balanced view of themselves and build an identity outside of achievement and pleasing others

I became a therapist because:

I saw firsthand the difference mental health treatment had in my own life. I feel passionate about helping others to feel seen and supported.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I provide therapy in a cozy office in downtown Indianapolis. I offer telehealth care across the country and can be flexible based on where you are.
