I am a trauma-informed therapist working with children, youth, and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, identity exploration, and intergenerational stress. My approach is relational, somatic, and culturally responsive.
I integrate nervous system regulation, attachment-based work, grounding strategies, and collaborative goal-setting. I value Two-Eyed Seeing, bringing together evidence-based psychological approaches and Indigenous ways of knowing. Meaningful healing begins with safety, pacing, and authentic connection.
As a first-generation Canadian and member of the BIPOC community, I bring cultural humility and awareness of systemic and historical impacts into my practice. I am committed to ongoing learning and to providing care that honours both resilience and lived experience.
Areas of focus:
- Trauma and intergenerational trauma
- Anxiety and emotional regulation
- Attachment and relational patterns
- Identity and cultural exploration
- Caregiver-child relationship strengthening
My goal is to create a steady, respectful space where your story is heard and healing can unfold at a pace that feels safe.

My name is Ruta Nuguse and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with Indigenous Psychological Services.
My parents immigrated to Canada from a small country in Africa called Eritrea in the early 80’s and I’ve had the privilege of growing up on Treaty 6 land. My passion for mental health began with my interest in understanding the impacts of intergenerational trauma on BIPOC communities and how using a holistic lens and honoring one’s whole self can support us on our path of healing and growth.
I believe that everyone has a unique identity and I like to support clients by being present and providing a safe and non-judgemental space. I work from a collaborative and culturally sensitive lens, incorporating different modalities to best fit my clients needs. This includes, trauma informed practices, mindfulness, EMDR, trauma focused CBT, DBT, art expression, play therapy and person-centered therapy. I currently work with individuals ages 10+ and groups.
You can see me in person at our west office or virtually!
