Marianne Kaukiainen-Russo, LMHC

Welcome! My name is Marianne, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York. My primary focus is to assist adults across all stages of life in navigating and ultimately overcoming the diverse challenges that life presents. I approach this by understanding my clients’ unique goals, collaborating on a treatment plan that is tailored to each person’s specific needs, and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance through and through. I specialize in helping adults with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication, self-esteem and parenting challenges. My evidence-based, integrative approach empowers clients to find their inner strength, engage in self-compassion, and gain strategies for a clearer, more purposeful life. Finding the right therapist is challenging. Psychotherapy thrives on empathy, trust, and a non-judgmental space, and fostering a strong therapeutic alliance is fundamental to effective therapy. I aim to create a supportive space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Let's turn challenges into opportunities of growth and success!
