Getting to know Dashamelle Bowie Russ

Hi there, I'm Dashamelle! Hi! My name is Dr. B, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California and hold an EdD from Northeastern University. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and trauma. My approach to therapy is very client-centered and collaborative with you-the client-because you are the expert in your life. My approach The most common interventions/modalities I use are Emotion Focused Therapy (exploring emotions), Solution Focused Therapy (finding solutions), Problem-Solving Therapy (addressing root problems), Attachment Therapy (examining caregiver relationships), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (shaping positive thoughts/behaviors), Psychodynamic (deep self-work), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (emotion regulation), and Inner Child Healing. My focus I entered mental health to provide representation in the Black community. A majority of my caseload is Black women and Black LGBTQ+ folks. I work with individuals from racially marginalized groups and communities impacted by oppression, focusing on how marginalization affects mental health. My communication style My style is conversational and collaborative. I ask questions to help you lead yourself to answers and explore them. I'm here to support you, not to tell you what to do. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because when I sought my own therapist, there were few Black women therapists. I wanted to create more space for Black folks-especially Black women and Black LGBTQ+ folks-to show up authentically in therapy and be supported in healing. My goals for you You help me identify the issues you want to address, and we create treatment goals together. My first session with you The first session includes me explaining the agenda and introducing myself.
