“Working with my therapist has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. She created such a safe and comfortable environment where I feel heard, understood, and never judged. Mrs.Russell helped me work through difficult emotions, challenged me to grow, and gave me practical tools that I can actually use in my everyday life. I always leave her sessions feeling lighter, more hopeful, and with a better understanding of myself. I’m truly grateful for her support, compassion, and professionalism, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and wants to help you heal and grow.”

Getting to know Santay Shaw Russell
Hello, I’m a Psychiatric‑Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered in their mental health journey. My background includes years of clinical leadership as a Director of Nursing, where I worked closely with complex behavioral health needs, crisis intervention, and long‑term care. This experience shaped my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence‑based psychiatric care for adults of all ages.
I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and treatment for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma‑related concerns, and stress. My approach is collaborative and patient‑centered—I believe the best outcomes happen when we work together to create a plan that aligns with your goals, values, and daily life.
In our sessions, you can expect a supportive, judgment‑free space where your story is heard and respected. I integrate trauma‑informed care, clear communication, and a holistic understanding of mental wellness to help you build stability, confidence, and long‑term well‑being.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward feeling better, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and support.
