Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Dr. Russo uses CBT to support individuals to focus on present-day challenges to replace with more balanced, realistic healthier patterns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a widely recognized therapy for trauma and distressing experiences. Through guided eye movements and evidence-based protocols, EMDR helps clients process emotional blocks, reduce distress, and move toward clarity and healing.
