Getting to know Samantha Russell

Hi there, I'm Samantha! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I specialize in working with First Responders, those who have experienced trauma, couples struggling with intimacy, and anyone needing help in creating the life they want. My approach I take a human-centered, nonjudgmental approach to supporting people looking to heal traumatic wounds and create connections with the relationships and life they want. My focus I typically work with adults and children above the age of 10. My communication style I have an open and, when needed, direct communication style. I always work to communicate with my clients in a way that is most effective for them. My journey to mental healthcare I have always wanted to help others make themselves and the world a better place. After my own journey of healing, I realized that this was the way I could support that. My goals for you Goal setting is an important part of therapeutic work. It allows us to create benchmarks so we understand when you are making progress. Goals can always be adjusted, and I want to make sure my clients and I have helpful ideas of what ?better? looks like for each individual. My first session with you Our first session will be about getting to know each other and talking through the things that made you reach out for support.
