Great to meet you!

My name is Teshera Russell and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with adults of all ages including those with trauma, grief/loss, PTSD, relationship issues, and identity concerns.

My approach to therapy

By integrating trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy, we will uncover the underlying causes of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, allowing you to make lasting changes and move forward with clarity and resilience. My compassionate, client-centered approach is designed to empower you to understand your past and its impact on your present, while helping you build the skills to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we’ll create a safe and supportive space to discuss what brought you to therapy and explore your goals for treatment. I’ll listen carefully to your concerns and begin understanding how past experiences may be influencing your current struggles. Together, we’ll develop a plan for moving forward, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in the process.
