Russell Yost, LPC — Therapist in Arizona

Hi there, I'm Russell!

I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or challenges in relationships. I take a client-centered approach and work collaboratively with my clients.

My focus

I enjoy working with men on typical issues such as anger management and relationships. I can also provide faith-based Christian counseling if that is a preference.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, which means I see you as the expert on you. I come alongside you on your journey to help you reach your goals. Approaches I use include client-centered, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, DBT, and EMDR.

My communication style

I establish a collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients; you are the expert of your story, and my work is to come alongside you on your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked hard in my own life on my issues, and I enjoy helping others identify and work on their issues, toward experiencing resiliency, joy, improved relationships, and fulfillment.

My goals for you

I work with my clients to establish a plan for counseling with specific goals and objectives to be achieved, so that you can know if you are making progress in your counseling.

Our first session

During the first session, I want to get to know you and what you want from counseling. The focus will be on my understanding of you and your goals. It takes courage to meet with a counselor, and I want to honor your courage and provide a safe therapeutic relationship.
