Supporting Highly Sensitive People & Therapists on Their Healing Journey

I’m Christina Russell, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Carrollton, Georgia, with over 20 years of experience in counseling. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people, therapists, and healing professionals, helping them navigate their inner world, embrace their gifts, and create a life that feels deeply aligned.

As a Highly Sensitive introvert myself, I understand the challenges that come with deep empathy, emotional intensity, and feeling overwhelmed in a fast-paced world. I also know the profound strengths that come with sensitivity—intuition, depth, and a rich inner life. My passion is guiding sensitive souls toward healing, self-trust, and confidence so they can thrive.

My Approach to Therapy

Therapy is sacred and courageous work—it is not just a profession to me, but a calling. t is a deep honor for me to support my clients in their inner work.  I create a space where you feel truly safe, seen, and supported, perhaps for the first time. My approach is mindfulness-based and somatic, meaning I help you connect with your body’s wisdom, subconscious patterns, and inner awareness to facilitate deep healing.

I have a many tools in my toolbox in order to best meet the needs of each individual client. I integrate a range of experiential, body-based therapies, including:

Brainspotting – Accessing and releasing trauma stored in the body
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Working with different parts of yourself for healing
Hakomi – A gentle, somatic mindfulness approach
Energy Healing – Supports emotional and energetic balance
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) – Levels 1 & 2, EFT Universe
Psych-K® – Transforming limiting beliefs at a subconscious level
Polyvagal Theory – Nervous system regulation for safety and connection.

I believe personal growth is a lifelong journey, and I actively do my own inner work. I’ve experienced therapy from the inside out with some of the most skillful and esteemed practitioners in the field, so I deeply understand the courage it takes to be a therapy client. I know what it’s like to do deep, transformational work—and I will do my best to guide and walk alongside you with empathy, presence, and compassion.

Who I Work With

I specialize in working with:
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) – Learn to manage overwhelm, embrace your depth, and create a balanced life.
Therapists & Healing Professionals – Prioritize your own healing, build confidence, and prevent burnout.
Empaths & Intuitives – Understand your energy, set boundaries, and step into your power.

I offer both in-person sessions in Carrollton, GA, and online therapy for anyone in Georgia.
