TESTIMONIALS

Dani

As a first-generation law student, I initially felt uncertain about what to expect when I began my studies in law school. Coach Steve's sessions have significantly transformed my approach to studying and have contributed to an improvement in my academic performance. Both my family and I have observed a positive change in my time management skills. The support I received during the sessions was better than I could have ever imagined.

Parent of 2e teen and child therapist

I highly recommend Stephen Russell as a remarkable executive function coach for 2e (twice exceptional) teens. Stephen's deep understanding of the unique and complex challenges faced by the 2e population, which many people and professionals struggle to comprehend, sets him apart. With his guidance, my teen has made progress in executive function skills, and has felt understood and supported in ways that he hasn't in other settings. Additionally, he has collaborated with us to better support our child. Stephen's dedication to helping others thrive and his expertise are invaluable.

When I started working with Steve, I was in a dark place. I was completely burnt out from work -- and I mean completely. Even opening my inbox in the morning felt like a herculean task. My sense of dread for the day set in the moment I opened my eyes in the morning, so I was staying up almost all night to fend it off. On top of this, my wife was just coming home from a treatment center for her mental health. I had almost lost her earlier that year to her own struggles.

Working with Steve gave me the outlet I needed after several failed attempts with licensed therapists and coaches. I always felt heard when I spoke to Steve, like he was really listening to the details of what I was saying while still seeing the bigger picture of where the pieces fit. He has an incredible well of mirroring back to you your own better nature. Sometimes it felt like the progress I was making was my own idea when in reality Steve was planting seeds throughout our sessions. He always held room for the emotions I was feeling while still grounding next steps in simple and actionable frameworks. I learned a lot about my own mind through our interactions, and he reignited in me a passion for working on myself.

When I stopped working with Steve, I felt ready. I had found a new job that I'm still happily in today, I had restored my energy - my mornings were peaceful again, and I was able to really show up for my wife. I'd once again found solid ground. The momentum that Steve helped create in my life has propelled me (and my wife) into the happiest and most peaceful chapter we've had yet. I'm moved to tears by my gratitude for the miraculous turnaround we've experienced. I count Steve as a key influence in my hardest chapter. A confidant, friend, and, truly, a coach. I highly recommend him and believe he has a gift for inspiring the best us.
