Ryan Russ, LPC
CSAT, IFS-I, EMDR I&II, CTTc, Brainspotting certified, Consultant
“We believe with our entire hearts that God appointed Ryan to care for our family. Ryan’s care was intense, unwavering, compassionate, and challenging. We discovered many truths within the fabric of our family that needed major interventions. Through working with Ryan, we were able to uncover the things in our family which, for years, had been ’swept under the rug’. Ryan wasn’t afraid to lift up the carpet.” Brad & Melanie – Birmingham, AL
Hear from Ryan: When you pay for therapy, you’re expecting something of tangible value. All too often what you get instead is a nice person on a couch, and little else. That’s not me. With high energy and humor, I help people recover from sexual addiction, couples lost in conflict and hopelessness, individuals crippled with trauma and harmful patterns. I very much enjoy working with sexual abuse recovery, attachment wounds, and traumas of many kinds.
My training includes: Certified Sexual Addictions Therapist (CSAT), level 1 Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR II, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Brainspotting certified, and Certified Trauma Therapist (CTT). I spent 5 years at Capstone Treatment Center as a therapist helping young men and their families heal from trauma and addictions. I have been practicing therapy my whole career for over 22 years. My main specialty is Sexual Addiction and Sexual Abuse Recovery. I integrate Brainspotting and “parts work” (IFS) together and my clients have found tremendous trauma and inner child healing with these models.
In addition to therapy, I also offer consulting services for other therapists and group practice owners. I provide case review services and help educate and train with a sex addiction/trauma focus. I also assist therapists in doing their own therapy work. I believe a therapist can only take their client as far as they have gone themselves in the therapy process.
Seek experienced help. If you’ve already tried therapy, try me. I bring a robust and earnest approach that will likely feel more engaging than your prior experience. Identifying and uncovering the root causes of issues is where real power and healing exists. You will be heard. You will be challenged.
