Philip Ruddy

With over 15 years of film and tv industry experience prior to becoming a therapist, I specialize in helping creative professionals (writers, directors, animators, musicians, comedians, and performers in Film, TV and New Media) learn to manage and transcend stress, anxiety, depression, emotional or creative blocks, relationship issues, trauma, and life transitions.

My style is positive, caring and reflective, and my background includes an M.A. in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and a B.A. in English from U.C. Berkeley.

I tailor my practice to meet each client's needs, using CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Talk Therapy), in a safe, nonjudgmental setting where warmth and humor is encouraged. I also offer Depth Therapy for clients seeking archetypal work, and EMDR Therapy to reduce the effects of trauma.

Please note all sessions are held online only at the present time, and my virtual office hours are Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm. Clients must be located within the state of California at time of services.

I invite you to reach out if you think we may be a good fit to work together.
