Eliza Russ
Hi, my name is Eliza Russ, and I've been working in the field for the past 10+ years. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist. I approach therapy with curiosity to help clients explore behavior patterns, gain insight, and develop techniques to facilitate changes that lead to a more peaceful, "meaning-filled" life. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up as they are and flourish. I am dedicated to customizing treatment to fit a client's individual needs and utilizing interventions from a variety of evidence-based treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused, Family Based Therapy (FBT).
First session
In our first session, we'll work on getting to know each other to determine if we're a good fit. I will gather information about you and better understand what you hope to achieve in therapy. From there, we'll set some initial goals to help inform the creation of a treatment plan (essentially a roadmap to meet your goals).
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths is creating an open and safe space where clients can unapologetically show up in their rawest forms and feel unconditional support. I believe connection and safety influence the most change, growth, and success in therapy. You are the expert on you, and I am simply walking alongside you to provide support. Seeking support can take incredible courage and strength, and I would be honored to walk next to you through your journey!
Ideal clients
I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship struggles. I enjoy working with individuals across different stages of life and have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I utilize interventions from a variety of modalities, including ACT, DBT, CBT, Compassion Focused, etc., to help clients with their needs. I customize and tailor my therapeutic approach to whatever modality closely targets some of the key areas we are working on in the sessions.
