Change Talk LLC is a counseling practice owned and operated by Adam Russo, MS, LPC located at 251 Essex Plaza, Essex CT. Change Talk is a practice that has a tremendous amount of professional experience treating individuals and their families and is dedicated to quality of service offering both teletherapy and in-person options to 95% of our adult populations (intake is in-person only).  Adam possesses advanced doctoral training in Education, Anxiety, Crisis Management, Neurodevelopmental, Systemic, and PTSD interventions. Adam also has separate degrees in criminal justice, public safety administration, professional counseling, and is completing (doctoral candidate with final 4.0 GPA) his community counseling and traumatology degree. Adam has active certifications in treating trauma and ADHD symptomatology. Therapy should be discussed with your doctor as a FIRST choice option, since psychotherapy and not medication can actually rewire your brain through neuroplasticity that is generally permanent, typically having no long-term side-effects or negative health consequences.
