Sponsler Ruth E

My husband and I started seeing Ruth together. Originally we did not fair well mostly in part because of my attitude. But Ruth stuck by us and was real and up front with our issues. She NEVER sugar coats anything and is very direct. I need that kind of guidance and I need someone to call the ""BS"" flag when it is necessary! Needless to say my husband and I are doing great thanks in a large part to her guidance! We continue to see her and I also see her individually now. \r \r My mental well-being has seen great improvement with the guidance of an excellent counselor! If you need constant consoling and someone to tell you everything is going to be alright she is not your woman. But if you are ready to get right mentally and run head on into the issues preventing you from the path of healthier relationships she is spot on!! Thank you Ruth for helping me save my marriage!!\r \r Not well versed on seizure and weight loss medicines?? Are you serious?? Go see you primary care physician for that!!! more

I got an account with this site just so I could right the wrong that was given in Ruth Sponsler only getting one star. My wife and I think she is great. We expected our first session to be her asking what our problems are and us trying to figure them out (which was the case with our last councilor). Not so. She's been doing marriage counseling for almost 40 years. Within the first 30 minutes she nailed our two biggest problems and told us what we need to do to fix our marriage. I was so excited I started taking notes. Both my wife and I were very impressed. I would probably still only give her 4 stars because I didn't like her office- the environment felt more like a small office with her behind a desk than a therapist session like we were used to in the past on a couch with the therapist sitting across from us in a chair. But this is superficial. \r \r One more thing I must say in regards to the last rating: who rates a therapist and councilor based on her knowledge of food allergies? She's not a medical doctor! For goodness sake, let's compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges... Pros: Incredible amount of experience Cons: Furniture and arrangement of office more

She worked for Belleville Mental Health and its subsidiaries for a time. She is not educated in knowing about food allergies or if a child has them. She also does not know about various medicines that work against weight loss or epilepsy Pros: She does know about how to talk to a person going through something Cons: she is not fully educated in medicine only in counseling more
