About Dorinna Ruh, LCSW:

Dorinna’s career has spanned 34 years, as she became a counselor in 1989, working in the substance abuse field. She obtained her Master’s Degree in Social Work from the State University of New York in 1995.

After moving to Fort Collins, Colorado in 1999, she started a private practice.
