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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She listened well and had good advice
Dr. Russell is a great listener, she can read into what I'm saying and help me make sense of what I am going through, even though I don't understand some of my issues myself. Her capacity to center me on the most pressing issue helps filter the noise in my life so that I can focus on what matters the most and tqke the proper steps on the path to improving my life.
When you are going through the process of doing therapy you want someone that is empathetic, kind, and insightful. Dr. Russell has a wealth of experience, listens to understand, offers tools and a different perspective. It’s very helpful, and it is a great way to make shifts in your life. You’ll enjoy not only the results, but you will also enjoy the process of self reflection and change with this experienced therapist. I do not hesitate to recommend her to you.
