Valerie Russell

My clients describe me as:

Empathetic, non-judgmental, supportive, great listener, real, transparent, humorous, reflective, collaborative, quick to respond, and comfortable.

Something to know about my approach is:

No BS. Just real talk, aimed to uncover the real you. Therapy with me is collaborative and adaptive, honoring your expertise in your life. You lead with your needs—whether through reflective talk therapy or structured guidance—I'm here to help!

Together, we will:

Talk about anything and everything you want and need to process through. Make strides towards goals and progress at your own pace. Stretch boundaries. Where no topic is off-limits.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Those who feel lost or apprehensive about therapy or looking towards finding clarity. Navigating paths to self-discovery and resilience.

I became a therapist because:

I've been there—feeling like shit, as if I'm losing my mind and no one gets it. It's possible to absolutely love life and break from those chains.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I keep it real—no BS, just genuine, one-on-one conversation with tangible progress. I'll consistently challenge you to grow. Unconventional healing.

More about me and my practice:

I don't stick to a script—I'm as human as you are. My priority is forging a real connection with you. My practice is rooted in personal experience, paired with an empathetic and open-minded perspective.
