Meet Russell
Husband · Father · Counselor · Stress Specialist · Fan of Life-Long Learning
Welcome.
I've been married for 32 years to Kathy, we have 3 children, now young adults, Sarah-Katherine, Christian, and Cameron.
I am blessed to be part of a ministry of Broadmoor Baptist church, which is the Tom C Pennell Christian Counseling Center. I have a PhD in Christian Counseling, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (2001), Licensed in both Louisiana and Texas and I have over 30 years of Behavioral Health experience. I am Certified as a Cerny Smith Stress Assessment Coach and also trained in EMDR.
My approach to counseling is a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Biblical wisdom as imparted through Scripture. I work with adults, individuals and couples, and for the past 7 yrs have counseled those working cross-culturally.
As the tag line above reads, I am a fan of life long learning and I try to make use of my desire to continue to learn to benefit those I serve. God has been gracious in directing my path and I'm just doing my part in preparing myself as I walk it.
“A vision we give to others of who and what they could become has power when it echoes what the spirit has already spoken into their souls.”
