HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY VIRTUAL OFFICE!

I am Sophia Russell, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist-Associate, a certified life skills coach, and a mindful meditation practitioner. I am also a devoted family woman who has faced life's challenges firsthand. Through my own healing journey I learned useful and effective life management skills and I felt compelled to assist others on a their paths. Providing therapeutic support to individuals, couples, families, and groups is my passion.

My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University, Los Angeles, and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. Currently, I am licensed by the state of Texas as a Marriage & Family Therapist Associate under the supervision of Dr. Russ Bartee, Ph.D., LMFT-S, LPC-S.

Marriage & Family Therapy is a systemic approach that delves into how our personal relationships greatly influence our behaviors, decisions, and how we address challenges.

With empathy, compassion, and a deep sense of understanding, I am committed to helping people realize their inner strength. I firmly believe that regardless of our past experiences, we all possess the ability to succeed in our chosen paths.

In our sessions, I will strive to establish an authentic therapeutic bond that fosters self-exploration, independence, and personal empowerment. My goal is to guide you in gaining a deeper insight into yourself and the dynamics of your relationships. Together, we will tailor sessions to align with your objectives, working collaboratively towards achieving them.

I am dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care, continuously enhancing my knowledge and skills, and serving as your therapist to motivate and assist you on your journey towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
