Getting to know Russell Kawakami

Greetings ~ I have been in the mental health and addiction field for over 20 years. I am a practicing Licensed Professional Counselor, a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, an author, an empowering media personality, and a proud veteran of the United States Army. You may have seen me as The Mind Doctor® on hit TV shows such as Bravo’s Married To Medicine, VH1’s Love and Hip Hop, WEtv's Bold & Bougie, WEtv’s Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta working with rapper, producer, actor, and superstar Bow Wow, and WEtv’s Brat Loves Judy with rapper, producer, actress, and Funkdafied super star, DaBrat! PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT a talk-therapist; as your copilot, we will focus on releasing the pain from the past and facilitating the healing that will allow you to live a life of overflowing abundance in Mind, Body, & Spirit. My approach Whether or not you have ever participated in counseling/therapy, I ask you to consider this: Do firemen spray water on the smoke, or do they spray the water on the source of the fire? Likewise, we will not chase your smoke (the behavior we see on the outside) week after week, month after month, when I know those behaviors are just manifestations of the trauma (adverse/difficult experiences) that is happening on the inside (the source of the fire). Specializing in anxiety and "stuckness" (and everything else in between), I co-pilot your transformational journey with hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and other somatic techniques designed to heal the adult drama that stems from unresolved childhood trauma.
