ABOUT ELEVATED
THERAPEUTICS
This practice is a dream for Psychotherapist Vanessa N. Russo. After more than a decade of experience in the field of Mental Health, I have grown my skills and sharpened my tools to give each of my clients the best experience.
Elevated Therapeutics is a small business-owned practice by design so that the experience feels personalized in a way that allows you to feel seen and heard in your session. Your story and details are wildly important, and will be threaded through our time. I have sat on both sides of the couch and continue to do self-work to show up as best possible for my clients. I am passionate about bringing quality care to the field and showing that each person that is courageous enough to start their journey will be supported in each step of the way.
Loyalty to my clients is of great priority to me and I hope that you grow to feel held in your therapeutic journey.
OUR
APPROACH
My approach is eclectic. I genuinely feel that to fulfill a clients needs, tackling therapy from different perspectives has shown to best serve my clients. As clients come in with different areas of concern, I tailor my treatment plan to best serve the needs presented in the moment.
I utilize a trauma focused lens, humanistic, behavioral, client centered, psychoanalytic, cognitive and system approaches as appropriate. I will use various interventions in sessions – some include, art expression, music, modeling, role play, education, somatic work, and mindfulness.
I believe that to open into productive therapeutic work, a warm, supportive, and attentive atmosphere is needed- and strive to create this for my clients.
As a therapist I will sit with you, without judgment, and align to best attend to the needs that arise within our work. I pride myself on using my wide variety of skills to feel prepared for most concerns that come through our door.
Have you ever thought no one can handle my story? You have met your match—I am highly trained in crisis and trauma to make sure that I can support those who are ready to invest in themselves and begin to unpack their unique stories. You do not need to know where to start. I will walk you through and support you each step of the way.
