LPC, 10 years of experience
I realized that we all have something that we want to work on within ourselves. I want to thank you for choosing me to help you on your journey to doing just that. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is dedicated to providing quality psychotherapy for those looking to reinvest in themselves. My clinical areas of specialty include individual/family counseling, addiction, trauma, depression and anxiety. I specialize in treating personality and mood disorders, AD/HD, and co-occurring disorders. I also have extensive experience in career counseling. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and adults. I apply cognitive behavioral approach and solution-focused brief therapy; however, I am experienced in several other therapeutic modalities.
After our initial session, we will work together on meeting the goals that you have set for yourself. I look forward to helping you on this journey.

After 4 yrs of not having a therapist I GOT MY THERAPIST BACKKK, 2 months of 30 minute sessions a week with this lady had me missing her for FOUR YEARS. She is the best to do it I'm sorry but this lady is so kind, she truly listens, she's older and wiser but not in the "I know what I'm talking about shut up" but instead "I have expertise in this field so I know how to go about this but I also understand your reluctance to trust something you don't know, let's work through it together" 5⭐s 10/10

I've been seeing Desirea for a little while now, and I always leave feeling seen and supported. She's a wonderful listener and has such a calming presence that puts me at ease. I never feel judged or rushed. She knows how create a safe space for any thought or emotion and I'm so grateful to have her as part of my support system.

Ms. Russell provided a warm and gracious atmosphere to share in. She is intentional with her approach establishing goals quickly. I’m excited to continue my journey with her and encourage others to consider her if looking to do the same.
