About Russell Brown, LMFT
Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern
"I believe relationships impact every part of our lives. When the relationship is unhealthy, it can spread to our work-life, family-life, spiritual-life, and beyond. Healing relationships improves our attachments creating greater satisfaction and promoting a stronger self-image. This is why I believe being proactive in our relationships is so important. It brings me joy every time I see an individual or couple work through those issues to connect, heal, and move forward in a more satisfying relationship."
Russell has experience with a wide variety of clients including: couples, families, children, college students, and adults. He counsels from a Choice Theory perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Theory providing Christian and secular counseling depending on the desire of the client. His specialties focus on marital, premarital, and relationship issues.
