About
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad to meet you. My name is Ruth Chao. I currently live in Denver, and am licensed in Colorado. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward greater self-awareness. As a psychologist, I believe in creating a supportive and compassionate space where you feel truly heard and understood. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths so you can thrive in the face of challenges. Every person’s journey is different and unique, and I am here to help you.
My work with autistic adults is grounded in a profound respect for neurodiversity and a commitment to delivering support that affirms each individual’s value and autonomy. I am inspired by the strengths, insight, and resilience demonstrated within the autistic community and strive to provide services that honor each person’s unique experiences. My aim is to assist clients in navigating challenges, leveraging personal strengths, and developing skills that promote meaningful daily functioning and fulfilling relationships. Together, we can work toward a life marked by understanding, support, and growth.
I center an affirming and strengths-based approach so that every person I work with feels seen, valued, and empowered. I trust that each individual holds their own unique strengths and ways of moving through the world, and I aim to help them use those strengths to navigate challenges and pursue what matters most to them. Through active listening and genuine validation, I create a safe space where clients can express themselves freely and authentically.
