Ruby & Rufus’ Story
Ruby, English meaning “Red gemstone” and Rufus, Latin meaning “Red-haired”
Ruby, a Latina mother, sought help for her 4-year-old son Rufus, who was struggling with defiance, sleep issues, and irritability after exposure to domestic violence.
Through individual and family therapy, Ruby processed her own trauma, her partner addressed depression and parenting challenges, and Rufus worked on healing from traumatic memories.
Over time, the family reported significant improvements in emotional connection, parenting skills, and Rufus’s behavior.
With the right support, Ruby and her son Rufus transformed their lives—healing from trauma, strengthening family bonds, and thriving together after experiencing domestic violence.
