Patty Russo

Patty Russo understands the challenges children and teens face, especially when they are not as happy or social as they once were. Parents often approach her with concerns about their family feeling disconnected or their teens encountering low self-esteem due to social media comparisons. With her expertise in working with individuals ranging from elementary to high school ages, Patty offers both individual and family therapy to navigate the ups and downs of growing up. She empowers children with tools to manage stress effectively, helping them make healthier decisions in school and with peers, rather than resorting to acting out or succumbing to anxiety. Through her guidance, families learn to address challenges together, improve their communication, and rebuild trust within the home. Whether dealing with behavioral issues, academic pressures, family conflicts, dating, or identity struggles, Patty collaborates with families to develop tailored plans that promote a more fulfilled life for their child or teen, fostering growth and emotional resilience.
