Why Choose Change Talk LLC?

At Change Talk LLC, true wellness is built by combining advanced, evidence-based psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioral trauma-informed guidance with personalized self-control strategies, bilateral stimulation and hypnotic interventions, and for severe cases, these interventions can be enhanced through simulation grounding videos, along with solutions-focused options under a systemic approach with genuine personal accountability. Dr. Russo specializes in all forms of clients that experience dissociation, hypervigilance, and avoidant shock PTSD symptoms and will work closely with your medial and psychiatric provider.
