“Beginning therapy with a new therapist can be unsettling but Dr. Russell quickly put me at ease. She was especially skilled at helping me articulate the difficult issues I was dealing with. She listened to understand, offered tools to use, and provided a different perspective.
It was a very positive and useful process. With Dr. Russell's help I was able to make important changes that allow me to feel able to achieve things that have been difficult for me until now. I am able to apply skills I learned to new situations allowing me to avoid the negative experiences I would have previously contended with. The experience was pleasant, even enjoyable and resulted in a very positive outcome. Dr. Russell's extensive experience, along with her skilled approach to me and my issues makes it extremely easy to recommend her without reservation. ”

“Dr. Russell is a really wonderful therapist. She really takes the time to listen, but asks very insightful questions that seem to really get to the heart of the issue. Her insights gave me some tangible areas to work on, and she has new perspectives I hadn't considered before that really helped me out. I'd highly recommend Dr. Russell for anyone who's looking for a compassionate, skilled, and experienced therapist.”
