Ruth Weinberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I have nearly 20 years of experience working with clients of all ages on a range of issues including relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem, shame, disordered eating and stress related to toxic work and family environments. Many of my clients are survivors of physical, sexual and/or narcissistic abuse. These painful experiences require courage and compassion to heal from.
Every person has the ability to grow, heal, and thrive. Life's challenges can lead us to lose hope or to believe that we are broken or damaged, but this is untrue! Our true nature and potential may seem absent or hidden but it is there and it cannot be destroyed. By uncovering and rediscovering our strengths and abilities, we can overcome challenges, find meaning and purpose, and live more fulfilling lives. Through the self-discovery process we can learn to find understanding and compassion for even the most feared and hated parts of ourselves.
My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Naya Clinics Denver
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselors
Hi, I’m Sam, founder of Naya Clinics
I spent 20+ years studying and working with human behavior, human performance, and organizational behavior. I lived, studied and worked in half a dozen countries around the world and my work experience spans varying industries and disciplines from counseling and business to marketing and sports.
It is this diverse and multi cultural work and life experience that I drew on as I developed Positive Existential Therapy (PET). Positive Existential Therapy PET is client centered and designed to give you results. It is a radical departure from how therapy has come to be, and it works.
My team and myself invite you to experience our avant-garde marriage counseling, therapy, and life coaching services in our locations in Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis , and Denver.
