Courtney Russell • M.S., LPCC
Therapist (she/her/hers) - Accepting new Virtual and In-person clients with appointments available 9a-5p Mon & Weds!
Hello there! I’m Courtney and I’m so glad you’re here! In my work as a therapist, I focus primarily on anxiety, depression, mindfulness, ADHD, ASD, and intergenerational/childhood trauma. My specialization of choice while pursuing my degree was centered around Trauma-Informed Practices and the treatment of Trauma-Focused disorders; helping folks find healing from trauma is an area of my work I have found incredibly rewarding. I also have lived experience with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder and am eager to support those who are seeking a therapeutic space for themselves pre-or post diagnosis. I wholeheartedly believe that the client holds the keys to unlocking their own solutions and therapy can simply be the process of helping you find your keys along the way there.
While I recognize that being in relationship with ourselves, or with others might feel draining or challenging, it certainly doesn’t have to remain that way. I focus on helping individuals safely unpack where their difficulties my have originated, allowing space for tough emotions to surface, and collaborating with each individual’s goals to tailor my approaches with care, specific to each person. I also practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) informed approach.
Works with: Teens (12+), and Adults
Specialties: Trauma, Childhood Trauma, ADHD/ASD, Anxiety, Depression, Mindfulness, Body Neutrality

THERAPIST (she/her/hers) - Weekend and Evening Appointment Times Available
Emotional distress can deeply impact your daily life with strains on relationships, impulsive behaviors, a lack of direction or sense of self worth…the list goes on. Struggling and suffering is no way to go through life and I believe everyone has the potential to cultivate a fulfilling life full of purpose, clarity and confidence.
My goal as your clinician is to tap into this potential through collaboration and empowerment. Together we can develop emotional stability, resilience and stronger self-esteem while healing from trauma through coping skills, stronger self-awareness and clarified personal values.
I utilize a variety of approaches including DBT and systems theory, with a trauma-informed lens. I have worked with a range of clients including those suffering with addiction, personality disorders, gender minority trauma, violence, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Loyola University New Orleans
As someone who has benefitted personally from counseling, I know how intimidating it can be to ask for help and advocate for yourself. I look forward to building a trusting and supportive relationship with you on your path to your best life.

Gaining an understanding around the thoughts, feelings and experiences that are significant to you will help you better connect to your resiliency and authentic self.

MA, LPC-S
Therapist | Supervisor (she/her)
You deserve more. No matter the circumstance, situation, or concern everyone deserves to be heard as they go through their own approach to daily life. I believe every story is human and you are truly unique, therefore your approach to counseling should be completely yours. I’m here to aid your focus towards your preferences, goals, and desires. With the help of people like you, I have seen hundreds of self-wanderers shift their focus on their boundaries to develop, plan and create an ideal approach to overcome each barrier needed. Through sessions connections via community resources, online education, and any other domain can also be explored.
No boundaries or restrictions will be applied. As a counselor, I enjoy working with a range of populations and challenges. My education is routed from Kutztown University in which I was highly trained within the population of children from older adolescents, however, I also carry experience in working with older individuals.
My creativity and passion are my driving force to maintain and excel in an adversity of techniques and skills for therapy. As a counselor, I will ensure a comfortable, safe place for you. You deserve this time.
Your story matters, you are in control, let yourself create a beautiful masterpiece.
