Lisa Ruderman, MA, LMFT

When we lived in San Diego my husband and I saw Lisa for counseling and recently we decided to go back for a few refresher sessions to make sure we weren’t slipping back into our old negative patterns. After 40 years together we have too much invested in our marriage to let it disintegrate. Lisa is perceptive and helps us cut through the minor things we tend to argue about and get to the heart of the problems. We’ve been practicing her techniques for sharing what bothers us without getting angry or shutting down and so far, so good, because we’re feeling closer now.

Lisa Ruderman is a kind and gentile spirit. She really cares about her patients and gives them her total attention when she is with them. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Emotionally Focused Therapy and even teaches other therapists the technique so they can enhance their practice. Additionally, she is well respected in her industry by other therapists. If you are looking for a patient therapist who will be focused on providing you with actionable steps you can take to improve your life and relationships, consider calling Lisa Ruderman.

I am no longer a patient of Lisa Rudermans but did see her weekly over a period of 4 years. She is a highly skilled relationship counselor and compassionate therapist. With her guidance my husband and I were able to improve our communications skills and get our relationship back on track. The only downside is that I routinely waited a minimum of 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment times. I thought she was worth it.

Lisa Ruderman is absolutely horrible and extremely unprofessional.
Went in for a counseling session and she decided not to attend. Now becoming overwhelmed may excuse this but instead she tried to turn the blame over to me! Even though she confirmed the appointment and even expressed, «its right here in front of me» a week prior.
I am more offended that a woman of her position instead of acknowledging her mistake attempting to shift the blame. Unprofessional. Coincidentally I have heard from close friends she is terrible at scheduling and additionally extremely pretentious. She believes she deserves more in life due to her husband’s status? Im unfamiliar with his work and nonetheless extremely dissatisfied in hers.
Go to someone who will genuinely show respect to you and your partner, that said avoid her!
