Seeking help and allowing someone into our innermost thoughts, feelings, failures, hopes, and dreams can be one the most frightening endeavors we embark on. Having an environment where you feel heard, respected, and validated, that is affirming, and nonjudgmental is essential. As your therapist, my primary goal is that you understand your worth, know your value, and appreciate the love you have to offer to yourself and others.

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.

One of the first things asked of me when creating this website profile was to describe my ideal client. I don't think I have an ideal client. To me that implies that I can pick and choose my client's problems, symptoms, relationships, and so forth, and it's that same individuality and variety of people and presenting concerns that I value. I wouldn't change that if I could. I meet a lot of people who don't really know what they need or cannot visualize/verbalize their true goals. Discovery can be a part of the therapeutic process.

The decision to attend therapy sessions can be difficult because of the stigma surrounding mental health. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, having difficulties with important relationships in your life, trying to adjust to a new setting, a new culture, or new stage of life, you made the right decision.

Buen día, te agradezco por tener la fuerza para pedir ayuda. I know how difficult it is to ask for help, especially when you are struggling with all conflicting emotions in your daily lives. As a Latina growing up in NYC, I have experienced this as well as finding a way. I come from two cultures, one of which believes in keeping everything within the family and the other that encourages seeking outsiders to help. At times the solutions were polar opposites but slowly with help I found the way. I learned to balance and take the strength from both and move forward. I bring this knowledge and experience into my practice.

I have extensive experience with mood disorders, trauma and addictions and work with all ages. I am trained in EMDR and use that technique with both children and adults if appropriate. My clients often state when they first spoke to me they felt immediately at ease and did not feel judged. I am able to assist my clients in seeing patterns in their life story and work to identify and change core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough", "I'm defective" or "I cannot trust others."

I believe that every person has the potential for growth in some aspect of life and that it can be a struggle at times. It is easy to forget that we are the main character in our own lives and sometimes we try to operate in the background. My goal is to help my clients get back in control of their lives and support their growth throughout the process. I provide a collaborative setting in which we work together towards changing behaviors and achieving goals to improve the quality of life and get back into the main character role. As a therapist, I focus on cognitive behavioral therapy with solution-focused techniques.
