about Bonita Russell , LMFT
Greetings! My name is Bonita Russell and I am an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist. I have a passion for helping individuals and one of my gifts is encouraging others to become their best self. I have a call on my life to encourage people who feel broken and distressed. In my spare time, I enjoy attending live theater, concerts, and traveling.
I have a wealth of knowledge from working in numerous settings such as schools, community agencies, hospitals, non-profit organizations, churches, and corporate America. I believe that every human desires to be seen, heard, accepted, loved and to know they are enough. I conceptualize mental health difficulties with focusing on wholeness (mind, body, and soul). Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all connected. Changing thinking patterns and learning coping skills can improve moods and overall functioning.

What clients have to say about working with me
Current and past clients say that I have a warm, compassionate and caring spirit that allows me to genuinely draw close and connect with them.
My approach is authentic (realness), non-judgmental, and collaborative. In therapy with me, clients can expect a good sense of humor, directness, and commitment to their wellness, allowing them to feel at ease to let down their guards. I assist clients in finding hope and teach them skills that provide relief and transformation.
