I strive to develop a trusting relationship with patients so that they feel safe to explore a range of emotions that are often kept under cover.
I help people to feel more engaged and fulfilled in their lives. I will help you to understand and change unhealthy patterns of behaving that you have developed because that is how you've always done things. I am particularly interested in the intergenerational transmission of trauma that can accompany those that immigrate from other countries, and how our social and cultural milieus create systems that contribute to a feeling of otherness.

The therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving your goals.
As a clinician, I am aware that the decision to seek guidance in resolving an issue, is a difficult undertaking. With this in mind, I provide a non-judgemental, safe and supportive setting in which to move forward. I am interactive and direct. I have 30 years experience working with adolescents and adults who have confronted and resolved issues with anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma (physical, emotional, sexual), which have impacted their lives.

Limited slots as of Jan 2024! Do you like to make progress quickly? I have often been told that clients make more progress with me in ONE session than in months of past therapy.

I work best with motivated, intelligent, verbal clients. Couples with intimacy issues are a specialty. Visit drpsychmom.com & listen to The Dr. Psych Mom Show! I get you in right away, we don't want to slow down the momentum that brought you here. I can also refer to my great colleagues.

I view the therapy relationship as a sacred trust.
Most individuals come to me when new or stressful life circumstances have overwhelmed their traditional coping strategies. We work together to understand the circumstances that they are facing, the distress that they are experiencing, and explore strategies for reducing their distress and enhancing their well-being. Together we form an understanding partnership that enables them to face the world with more effective coping strategies and improved relationship skills. My theoretical approaches include emotion-focused and psychodynamic therapy. My clients describe me as empathetic, effective and collaborative.

Russell understands that the more we learn about ourselves the better we can respond to the challenges we face. Often, we tend to respond to our challenges in ways that may be problematic. However, once we learn to manage our emotions and the interaction between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can begin to develop and strengthen healthier thinking patterns resulting in positive outcomes. As a result, Russell enjoys working with individuals learning to manage anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
