I truly appreciate having Ruth as my therapist especially during this time of anticipatory grief as I am caregiving for my terminally ill mother, who is likely in her last 6 months of life. Ruth’s extensive knowledge of her medical background helps validate my experience and what the end of life looks like. She helps give me tips on how to care for my mother and helps to give me an outlet to express my concerns, fears and grief in the most non-judgemental way possible. I am very thankful to have Ruth as one of my main supports as I go through the hardest journey of my life. Thank you Ruth!!

Ruth is a wonderful counselor. She listens to my concerns and helped me find better ways to communicate with others, especially my " oh so wonderful husband". She made me feel that I am worthy and deserve to be happy without guilt. I would definitely recommend her in a second. She's very easy to talk to and hold no judgment at all, making me feel very comfortable sharing very private issues with her. I would definitely give her a try if I was you.
Thanks Ruth! Warm regards Wendy P.

Ruth has been a most trusted counsellor and helps me to get an understanding and perspective on what is happening around me. The sessions have been invaluable and very accurate. I have had counseling over the years on and off for short bursts of time but only Ruth has had the sheer insight that just ties up all the loose ends and makes sense of what is going on. I do not believe that many counsellors have this insight. I would definitely recommend Ruth to anyone seeking help.

I am having a great experance working with Ruth. I've had therapy in the past and people have been too serious. Ruth understands my quirky humor and my need to be silly. Her compassionate style and information are fantastic for my needs. She is very encouraging and supportive. Thanks Ruth.

Ruth is very friendly, engaging, and to the point. She has helped to set my mind at ease to the stressful situations in my life right now, and helped me see the folly in some of my thinking.

Ruth is super sweet and checks in and I feel she truly worries about her patients. She is always quickly responsive, takes my thoughts and questions and tries her best to help me make sense of them. She gives truthful advice that at times can be difficult, but at this point, I need honesty even if harsh to face.

Excellent Counselor!!!
Written on Jul 16, 2015 after therapy with Ruth for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety
During the last six months I went through major challenges and transitions. My counselor, Ruth Vanden Bosch, seemed to be very in tune with me and I was impressed with how quickly she got back to me and always offered grounded, knowledgeable, advice and oodles of positive support. I found her empathetic, humorous and open minded. I feel like I went through huge life changes with much more resilience than I would have with the resources I had before connecting with Ruth.
When you are stressed and depleted within an inch of your life and need help, it is ridiculous to have to shop around for a counselor; I think that the platform of Betterhelp.com saves you allot of heartache.

In the short time together, Ruth Vanden Bosch was able to cut through my forest of emotions and mis-givings in such a way that I can recognize signs of trouble - signs I was oblivious to prior to our "chats".
Her spiritually guided ways of helping me to handle situations beyond my control are techniques I see myself using the rest of my life!
Thank you Ruth, you were a lighthouse...
Written on Feb 24, 2015 after therapy with Ruth for 3 weeks on issues concerning grief, intimacy-related, and self esteem
Ruth has been excellent and the first counsellor, of many I have seen over the years, to recognise the crux of the issue instantly. Which has been an enormous eye opener and help to me. I like her straight forward, no nonsense style. I would recommend Ruth to anyone seeking open, honest help to improve their situation and their lives.
