Welcome to Ruppert Counseling. Our aim is to help you become the best version of yourself — on your terms.

Therapy is a space to feel understood, meaningfully challenged, and supported in living in alignment with your values. We work with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, anger management, identity exploration, life transitions, relationship challenges, and LGBTQ+ affirming care. Our approach is collaborative and individualized, centered on helping you meet your specific goals.

Hi, I’m Bobby, the owner of Ruppert Counseling. Our work is grounded in psychodynamic insight, helping you understand the deeper patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. We draw from evidence-based approaches such as ACT, CBT, and DBT to provide care that is practical, structured, and tailored to you.
