Bethany Russell

My communication style

I tend to be pretty upfront with my clients. I will call you out on your stuff; however, how I call you out will differ based on your needs. I value open communication and empathy above all else. I also tend to throw in a bit of humor too.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to become a therapist because of how I grew up. I was raised in a family where addiction was considered normal. I have seen people that I love become absolutely devastated because of mental health and addiction issues alike.

My goals for you

For as long as I've been practicing I've said that I'm here to walk alongside you. We are partners in this journey together. I will be here to offer support and guidance.

Our first session

I like to spend the first session getting to know you as much as I want you to get to know me. I like to show that I'm a real person with real interests in therapy, not just a blank face.

I identify as...
