Change Talk LLC is a counseling practice owned and operated by Dr. Adam Russo, EdD, 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). Dr. Russo possesses advanced doctoral training in Learning, Anxiety, Crisis Management, Neurodevelopmental, Systemic, and PTSD interventions. The learning designation is especially important in counseling since interventions and concepts are only effective if you understanding their purpose, value, and consequently incorporate them into your life. Adam also has separate degrees in criminal justice, public safety administration, professional counseling, and has an advanced community counseling and traumatology degree. Adam has active certifications in treating trauma and ADHD symptomatology. This all coming from a provider you can trust with a psychotherapist who has previously held a top secret security clearance and has experienced professionally virtually the entire gambit from standard outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential, and inpatient services. 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.
