About Russell Bader

Hello: My name is Russell Bader, LCSW. I have been in the practice of psychotherapy for 50 years. My focus has been on Anxiety Disorders, Trauma, and depression. I believe that thoughts that we may not even be aware of lead to emotions and behaviors that interfere with a happy life. My approach is to assist people in becoming aware of their thoughts and how they influence their lives.
