Christopher

Mr Christopher Russell, MA

Psychoanalyst

I work with individuals and groups. Group is the antidote to the isolation and loneliness of modernity and social media. This is an intimate in person process group where members from diverse backgrounds engage in progressive emotional communication with each other. Members confront their repetitive avoidance patterns

About Me

My practice provides individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, tailored to what you seek. If you are navigating specific symptoms, once-weekly sessions offer a focused space to manage these challenges. For those desiring a profound understanding of long-standing patterns, psychoanalysis three to five times a week allows for deeper engagement. This dual approach ensures you can choose the right intensity and pace for your personal growth.

Approach

Groups counter the isolation stirred by modern life, and in the clinic I move between focused individual work and the relational learning of group to address how avoidance shows up in daily life. In my small New York office we speak English and keep sessions paced to your need—steady weekly meetings for symptom relief or more frequent, exploratory work when deeper patterns emerge. You’ll leave sessions with concrete observations to try between meetings, and people who’ve felt stuck often find this steady, relational rhythm helpful.
