About
With over two decades of experience in transforming lives through therapy, Russell Beazer, MS, LMFT, stands at the forefront of couples and family counseling. As the founder and owner of A Family Works Counseling, Russell has been a beacon of hope for individuals, couples, and families since 2001, offering a unique blend of expertise, versatility, and genuine passion for his work.
Russell's journey in the behavioral health field began in 1991, providing him with a rich tapestry of experiences that inform his practice today. From working with children and teens in group homes and pediatric psychiatric units to providing emergency psychiatric care for adults, Russell has honed his skills across diverse settings. This breadth of experience allows him to adapt his approach to meet the unique needs of each client, whether they seek a firm, direct approach or a more collaborative, guiding therapist.
As a graduate of Virginia Tech's top-ranked Marriage & Family Therapy program, Russell brings a solid educational foundation to his practice. He leverages this superior training to assist clients in defining their goals and utilizing the most effective treatments available. Russell's expertise extends beyond the therapy room; he has made appearances on Sonoran Living, a morning show on Channel 15 (ABC), where he took live questions from callers, and has been a guest on local radio station KMLE.
Russell's versatility and congenial personality have earned him a reputation for success with difficult situations and clients who feel "stuck" after previous attempts at therapy. He offers a wide array of tools, recognizing that therapy is not a "one size fits all" solution. His clients value his ability to provide insight, perspective, understanding, and accountability, often returning for his skill in identifying their needs and providing useful interventions.
In his role as Clinical Director at A Family Works Counseling, Russell not only serves clients directly but also shapes the next generation of therapists through clinical supervision of Associate Therapists. This dual role allows him to impact lives on multiple levels, ensuring high-quality care across the practice. Outside of his professional life, Russell finds joy and balance in his 33-year marriage and his role as a father to six children, bringing a personal understanding of family dynamics to his work.
Russell Beazer's approach to therapy is summed up in his own words: "I've been doing this since 2001, and I still love what I do." This enduring passion, combined with his extensive experience and expertise, makes Russell a trusted guide for those seeking to navigate the complexities of relationships, personal growth, and mental health.
