Dr. Russell Federman

My primary area of specialty involves psychotherapy for individuals with bipolar disorder. With regard to broader practice areas, my work includes issues such as depressive disorders, personality disorders, adjustment and transition issues (employment change, empty nesting, death of a loved one, divorce, geographic relocation, retirement, etc.), GLBT issues, and individuals dealing with adjustment to physical disability. I have been licensed as a psychologist and practicing for over 40+ years.

My general theoretical orientation tends towards psychodynamic perspectives, meaning I strive to develop an understanding of personality dynamics and the adaptive role they’ve played in your life.

My general approach to most psychotherapy is to try to look beyond presenting symptoms and their situational correlates and to understand the broad range of influences (developmental and contemporary) affecting you at this point in time.

Patients can expect understanding, respect and professionalism, based upon 40+ years of experience in the mental health field.
