Ciara Rutten
Clinical Intern

Hi! I’m Ciara
I am currently a student pursuing my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health
Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University and am honored to serve as a
student intern at Snohomish Counseling Collective. My approach is rooted in empathy,
collaboration, and a deep respect for each individual's unique journey.
I have Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s of Art’s in Psychology. I have
worked in the field of mental health since 2019, working with a variety of populations
and challenges, including residential treatment for adolescents with eating disorders,
inpatient behavioral hospitalization for adolescents, individuals in crisis and those with
chronic mental health conditions in supported living environments.
Under the guidance of experienced clinicians, I am dedicated to providing
compassionate care that aligns with each client's goals and values. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to
foster personal growth.

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family, which
helps me maintain balance and presence in my life.
