About Russell
Welcome.
My name is Russell Pippin. I am living and working in California as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have over 30 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings from Private Practice to working at a County Behavioral Health Agency to working as a clinical Supervisor for an agency that provides school systems with mental health services.
I have a deep abiding faith in God that has grown over the past 50 years. That faith has led me to my calling to help empower, heal, and discover what is best in each person and commission each to live their best life. It is my belief that by providing a safe authentic and compassionate clinical setting we can work together to achieve your goals. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.
