Hang Ruan, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Seattle WA
In my 19 years of experience, I have come to see that we all have that center of stability and wisdom within us, and there are many tools that can help us find and connect with that source. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, insomnia, chronic pain, substance use, or other issues, I am confident that we can find a path forward together.
You will be able to learn new tools, or refine the ones you already have, so that you can move toward the things that are important to you, and be the person you that you want to be.
My style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. Together, we will uncover possibilities and resources, including those residing within you, as you grow more empowered and resilient.
I am a psychotherapist licensed to practice in the state of Washington (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker). In my 19 years of experience as a behavioral health provider, I have worked in diverse settings including inpatient psychiatry, mental health clinics, addiction treatment centers, emergency psychiatry, and chronic pain treatment clinics. I have a Masters in Social Work from the University of Chicago, and completed a post-graduate Fellowship with the VA National Center of Excellence in Substance Addiction Treatment and Education (CESATE). I am also a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist.
I have published and lectured nationally and internationally on mindfulness, substance use disorders, mental illness, chronic pain, and process improvement, as well as developed/produced mindfulness meditation videos for official U.S. national health authority YouTube Channels. My expertise and contributions have been recognized through press coverage and awards.
