Hi, I'm Dr. Dave Russell. I am a psychologist who specializes in intensive psychotherapy and coaching focused on getting to the root and core of your problems. Instead of the traditional 45-minutes-once-a-week talk therapy model, we use 90-minute and 3-HOUR SESSIONS to help you achieve up to 3 months of therapy in each session.

We gain a large part of our worldview before turning 8 years old. This is when we think more black and white and take everything at face value, before the ability of abstract thought. How we understand the world at that point is based on our life experiences and the people around us. That worldview changes how we experience and perceive life thereafter. During sessions, you will explore how the past connects with present thinking. Using modalities such as CBT, narrative therapy, and rational emotive therapy, we can challenge the thoughts that negatively affect you, and rewrite ‘stories’ in your life with a new understanding of the situations, thus changing your perspective and how you feel.

Come join me to begin the process of healthy change, one stage at a time.

I have learned several models of therapy, and apply various models at different times depending on the clients situation and needs. Psychotherapy in essence is a relationship that is built on trust, understanding, and compassion between the client and the therapist,. Once this is established, both the client and therapist can move forward to better understanding the roots of the problem, and make changes to bring successful outcomes for achieving the goals and lifestyle changes the client seeks.

While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
