Ruth Mote, M.S., LPC, EMDR

Hello, and welcome! My name is Ruth Mote, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama and the Founder of Renewal Counseling Centers. I believe that every one of us experiences heartache, difficult seasons, and moments that change us. Through my work in counseling in Foley, AL, I have seen that healing happens within safe, meaningful relationships, and that you don’t have to walk through the hard things alone. Because I value genuine connection, I want you to know that I have personally experienced hard things too. My own experiences with anxiety, loss, and trauma have shaped the way I sit with people, listen to their stories, and provide compassionate, personalized care through Foley therapy services. My hope is that counseling becomes a place where you feel seen, understood, supported, and empowered to heal. If you're seeking marriage counseling in Foley, AL, let’s work together toward healing, growth, and a life where you can truly smile again, as the best and most authentic version of yourself begins to emerge.

Finding Your Way Forward

 A Free PTSD Support Group for Women

You have been through things that may have changed you, but your past does not have to define your future. Healing takes time, and you do not have to navigate the journey alone.

 Whether you are struggling with anxiety, feeling constantly on edge, experiencing emotional exhaustion, having difficulty trusting others, or simply trying to find your footing again, this group offers a compassionate space where you can feel understood and supported.

Together, we will explore practical coping skills, emotional regulation, grounding techniques, self-compassion, healthy boundaries, and ways to navigate the challenges that trauma can leave behind. Together we will focus on building resilience, rediscovering inner strength, and finding hope for the road ahead.

Your story matters. Your healing matters. And there is still a way forward.
