Cultivating Balance from the Inside Out
A Place Where Every Part of You is Welcome
IFS & EMDR Therapy for Adults in Oregon & Washington
In-Person Therapy in Beaverton, Oregon
I’m Ruth Hescock
If you’ve spent years being the “strong one,” the helper, the responsible one — you’re in the right place. Many of my clients are people-pleasers, perfectionists, caretakers, and driven professionals who look like they have it all together on the outside… while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or disconnected on the inside.
My passion is helping you understand why these patterns developed — and supporting you as you move toward self-trust, emotional safety, and genuine inner peace.
My Approach to Therapy
I provide trauma-informed, compassionate therapy grounded in curiosity. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. I believe we all have inner wisdom and ultimately know what’s best for ourselves. I see my clients as the experts in their own experience, and my role is to help my clients connect with their inner wisdom so they can begin living the life they want and deserve.
How I Can Help
I offer specialized, trauma-informed therapy to support deep, lasting healing from anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. Using evidence-based methods like EMDR therapy, IFS therapy (Internal Family Systems), and psychedelic integration therapy.
EMDR therapy helps your brain and nervous system process traumatic or distressing experiences so they no longer feel stuck or overwhelming. This can reduce triggers, ease anxiety, and shift long-held negative beliefs about yourself.
IFS therapy helps you build a compassionate relationship with the different “parts” of you that carry pain, fear, or protective roles. By connecting with your core Self, you can cultivate self-love, self-acceptance, and inner balance.
Psychedelic integration therapy provides grounded, nonjudgmental support before and after psychedelic experiences. Together we make meaning of what emerged, translate insights into everyday life, and ensure your healing unfolds safely and sustainably.
This integrative approach can help with:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and panic
Relationship and attachment wounds
Life transitions and identity exploration
Spiritual or existential questions
Whether you are processing the past, navigating the present, or integrating profound inner experiences, therapy can help you reconnect with your innate capacity to heal from the inside out.
