Find A Psychologist in North Canaan, CT.

Hi, I'm Dr. Dave Russell. I am a psychologist who specializes in intensive counseling 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. So even if you have been in regular talk therapy for months or years without getting to the core, you have an alternative. You need to know that - with the right help and some hard work - you can get rid of your emotional baggage so completely that you will not be able to get yourself upset about your worst memory, your most challenging situation or your most sensitive issue - no matter how hard you try.

I am a New York State and Connecticut Licensed Psychologist, and bring my expertise to bear on a wide breadth of life issues, including personal distress, marriage and family problems, separation and divorce, health and fitness, grief and loss, and relationships of all kinds - parent-child, heterosexual, gay, lesbian and bisexual. The way I work with people depends of course on the nature of their problems and on how psychologically minded they are. I am trained in many methods of change, and pick and choose ones that will help you the most.

I have a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in addition to my doctorate in Psychology. I trained at MGH/Harvard Medical School in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Medicine, and Psychodynamic theories. I spent 13 years doing education and training in order to become the most effective psychologist. I practice psychotherapy, conduct psychological evaluations and work with Physicians who are experiencing burn-out or are dealing with a malpractice lawsuit. I also supervise various clinicians in their practice of psychotherapy.
