About me

It’s awesome that you’ve reached out to BetterHelp. Change takes courage! I am a mental health therapist with a Master’s in counseling and have over 20 years of experience as a counselor. Much of that time has been spent working with folks addressing substance use disorder and accompanying issues such as HCV, esteem, trauma, loss, anxiety and depression. Many times, relationship and identity problems are also present and addressed. My approach is often based, in part, on the existentialistic philosophy of assisting others in finding their purpose and authentic self. This generally occurs through working on personal growth based on self-honesty and responsibility. The transformation is possible through the application of cognitive behavior therapy, that empowers them to be congruent in their thinking and actions. Challenging perceptions and hurtful thoughts are also vital. By focusing on their strengths, coping strategies are offered to assist them in managing their symptoms. My life experiences have included recovering and living with significant, chronic health challenges. My world view has further been enhanced by living abroad and working with various populations. I look forward to building a working relationship with you that is both safe and without judgement. Please contact me so I may assist you on your journey of change!

Russell is a very good therapist that listens and can provide feedback thats applicable to the situations im currently working through. Having that kind of feedback makes this journey easier.

Mr. Russell is a very professional therapist who sees others at a base level and is very curious not judgemental, his experiences make it easier to communicate with him. Thanks to him I've started my journey to get better help for myself.

I feel completely comfortable with my therapist I’m not usually a talker to people I don’t know well but he makes me feel like he is totally here to help me and is always available if I need him. It’s nice to have someone to talk to about things that has no connection to me
