Russel Urruita Claim

I am a compassionate licensed couples and family therapist with 27 years of experience in guiding others through troubled times. The honor is mine when you allow me to serve you. I know that relationships are core to who we are and that despite the many things we do each day, it is in our relationships with others that we find life’s meaning. So, when you place your relationship or family into my care, I know that you are trusting me with the thing that you value most in life. Knowing this, I approach the work of therapy with great care and compassion. Although, I have a set fee schedule, I am willing to talk about adjusting that fee when those I work with face financial difficulties. When I first meet with clients, I tell them that my goal in asking questions is to understand the transactions that take place in relationships by trying to learn what each partner or family member thinks, feels and does at various points of transacting with their partner or family members. These transactions can include arguments and/or successful or unsuccessful attempts to create, maintain or restore intimacy. When I am able to describe to the family or couple I am working with how their cycle is co-created and moved forward with participation from all involved and the couple or family members all shake their heads “yes” as I talk and meet their eyes, I know that my clients have the understanding and motivation needed to begin experimenting with change.
