Emily Russ

Co-Founder & Clinic Manager
The Finding Place Counseling

The Finding Place Counseling is a boutique mental health clinic in Little Rock. Our team of 12 highly trained therapists serves all ages and members of the family, providing expert and robust therapy. My husband Ryan and I co-founded the practice. I support the team administratively and he is the clinical director. I very much enjoy creating structure, efficiency and caring for clients.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

What keeps me coming back to my job every day

Hearing clients’ testimonials of finding freedom, restored relationships and finally being able to unburden shame and generational hurt. It’s a privilege to be a small part of their stories.

Best career moment so far

Every November, our team and their spouses gather for an overnight fall retreat at a beautiful lakeside lodge to play, eat and celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas together. This is always a highlight!

A skill I never expecgted to need in this field

Marketing. Administrative structure is my second nature, but marketing has been a new skill I’ve really enjoyed developing over the years.

The one thing I wish I knew about my field

If you’ve tried therapy in the past and it didn’t help, try us. Therapy can be so much more than only 50 minutes a week. Longer sessions, half days, group therapy or multi-day intensives with an expertly trained therapist can be the key ingredient to finally finding freedom.
