My name is Ruthie Doles and I hail from the central west coast of Florida. The daily human tragedies 911 dispatchers handle can be very stressful, but I found the personal stories of my employees much more compelling. My work as the 911 Center manager inspired me to become a therapist. I earned a BA in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences from University of South Florida in 2009 and obtained a Master’s in Social Work from the University of New England in 2016. I proudly became a licensed therapist in 2020, one good thing that occurred during the Covid pandemic.

I have been working in the helping professions my entire adult life. I first became licensed over 25 years ago and have had the pleasure of helping many people over the years, both online and in my private practice. I have worked with individuals, couples and families seeking counseling and served as a supervisor to newly licensed counselors and therapists. While serving on the Faculty at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as the Assistant Director for the Office of Clinical Services and Senior Data Analyst, I learned the importance of setting measurable outcomes and establishing goals for treatment.

Emotional supportive therapy in meeting my client's needs is paramount to their success. Not just listening to what they are saying, rather hearing what they are not saying to guide them in discovering their own needs. Working as a team to help them discern, process, embrace adversity and employ resiliency in the challenges they face. Guiding clients in an overcomer mindset, rather than being overcome. Teaching them how to be a human-being as opposed to a human-doing in order to find peace, harmony and balance in their whole being.
