Rui Dolen is a compassionate and skilled licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in the treatment of trauma, developmental trauma, and responses to stressful events in both teens and adults. With certification as a somatic therapist, she adeptly combines Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment along with Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her practice.

Her practice is grounded in Interpersonal Neurobiology, which also informs her parenting consultation and coaching work. Born and raised in Beijing, China, Rui is deeply connected to mindfulness and Buddhist philosophies through both her Eastern cultural background and professional commitments. Having witnessed the effects of generational trauma within her family and society, she brings a rich understanding to her therapeutic work. As a mother to a premature baby with special needs, Rui has personally experienced the emotional challenges of parenting and applied her professional trauma-informed care knowledge in such situations. The practice of remaining present has been a crucial element in her journey, offering her resilience through the ups and downs of her motherhood experience.
