Personal, Marriage And Relationships

If you desire counseling for yourself, your marriage, or your relationship, we applaud you. Dr. Pam Russell, LLC. employs Christian, faith-based methodology in our counseling program. The process in Christian counseling is essentially the same as in other counseling, but the tools used sometimes differ. How to incorporate spiritual beliefs into the counseling experience varies from client to client and from therapist to therapist.
We believe the Lord leads us in our technique. You, the client, are the best person to determine how much and in what way spiritual beliefs are incorporated into your therapy. Your and our priority is to see you accomplishing goals, live your dreams, and love your life.
We deliver the professional knowledge and experience to make educated decisions. Our work ethic is founded on worthwhile, necessary traits and qualities. We produce results that represent our highest priorities, deeply held beliefs, and foundation for how we live.
Our core values define what we believe as a company and how we want our services to resonate with and appeal to our clients, our employees, our partners, and the world.

Our Counseling Methodology

As a Christian counselor, I have a unique advantage of being able to approach issues holistically based on three dimensions—body, mind and spirit. Secular counseling often neglect the spiritual dimension entirely, or give very little credence to its impact on your life. A biblical understanding of how we’re made, as physical, psychological and spiritual beings, means all three of these dimensions play an important part in our health and happiness. I do not treat people as products of impersonal chance. I recognize that you have been uniquely created by a loving, caring and healing God. If you or someone you love is in need of counseling, where do you turn? I am here for you.

Learning To Live God's Vision For Your Life

Why Christian Counseling

As a general rule, both Christian counseling and secular counseling share the same desire to help people overcome their problems, find meaning and joy in life, and become healthy and well-adjusted individuals, both mentally and emotionally. However, Christian counseling seeks to help you:
  • Carefully discover those areas where you can find and adhere to the principles and commands of Scripture.
  • Help you learn how to lovingly submit to God’s will.
  • Help you regain a sense of hope for you life that is found in Jesus Christ.

Pre-Marital Counseling

Given the laundry list of factors that can lead to divorce, the smartest thing that couples can do is to seek counseling before they say “I do.” Premarital counseling can help partners identify areas likely to cause conflict later on (i.e. finances, child-rearing methods, career goals, family dynamics, etc.) and either work through these issues in the early stages of the relationship, if possible, or develop a plan to address them in the years to come.

Relationship and Family Counseling

There are many reasons you would want family or relationship counseling. Unfortunately, there are just as many obstacles that prevent a person from seeking it. Individuals and families often do not realize that the barriers preventing them from seeking counseling are in fact the same ones affecting their ability to adapt to change, communicate, avoid a crisis, or cope with a tragic event. My goal is to help you and/or your family identify how specific behaviors affect others, learn new ways of relating, resolve conflicts, establish personal/family rules and roles, manage expectations, and open lines of communication.
