About Renewal Counseling Center

Ruth Mote, M.S., ALC

Hello and welcome! My name is Ruth Mote and I'm a Associate Licensed Counselor in the state of Alabama. I believe that we have all experienced heartache in life and have hope that true healing occurs within relationships. Because I value the power of relationship, I want you to know that I have personally experienced hard things too. My own experiences with anxiety, loss and trauma all contribute to my caring, compassionate and personalized approach in therapy. I also believe that every behavior has a purpose and a payoff. If we can understand what drives the behavior, then we can begin work on strategies that will develop new skills to help you.

My professional background includes many years in community mental health with lots of different people struggling with life challenges.  I love helping people and believe in a practical and solution focused approach to work through the problems that led you to seek assistance. I believe that it takes courage to reach out for help, and I will honor the bravery that you have shown to take this step. We will work together to help you achieve insight, learn new skills and find strategies that will move you toward change and growth.
