Russell Saunders
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Location
People often tell me they want a therapist who will both listen AND have something to say. I believe that emotional safety and good two-way communication must be established in order for therapy to be successful.
From the first session, I strive to provide a safe environment where you can fully experience your feelings and look at things you want to change. Aside from listening to you, I will ask a lot of questions as we attempt to look at your problems from a fresh perspective.
I see both individuals and couples, and I am especially interested in helping people work through relationship problems. I am certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a non-blaming model that helps couples find new ways of expressing their emotional needs. In addition, I am an AASECT-certified sex therapist.
