Kelly Russo, Ph.D.

As a solution-focused psychologist practicing short-term counseling, I use an empowering and pragmatic approach to help individuals achieve their counseling goals in a limited amount of time.

I take care to understand the unique experiences, needs, and strengths of each person I work with.

Because different clients have different needs, I offer various types of counseling (such as, individual, couples, families, and groups).

I also provide individual counseling or coaching in traditional face-to-face sessions as well as remotely, via Skype-type technology.

By collaborating closely with clients, I work to help them improve their mood, reduce anxiety, deal with stressors, address work, family, and self-esteem issues, and navigate difficult transitions. Such as:

• Complicated Grief or Loss
• Traumatic experiences
• Relationship issues
• Separation, Divorce, or even adjusting to a new Marriage (good changes can be hard too)
• Employment issues or Career transitions, including Promotions & Retirement
• Moving to a new community or away from family and friends
• Blending Families or Emptying the Nest, and
• Physical Issues, Including:
  • Dealing with Illness or Disability
  • Tackling Weight-related issues, and
  • Addressing the challenges of Menopause

I find a short-term approach to counseling to be quite effective for these types of issues and am absolutely committed to fostering independence in the individuals I work with; so that, for many, a few sessions will be all they need to address their current issues and achieve their goals.
