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.
