Dr. Russell, and our daughters coach Alysia, have been invaluable to help us uncover our daughters high-priority needs, set individual goals, and create a disciplined action plan to meet them. As a co-parent between two households, it is very helpful for us all to have the objective point of view, consistency, and accountability that the team brings. The blend of care and empathy along with disciplined tactics and professionalism has been refreshing and encouraging. I highly recommend Russell Coaching to any parents looking for a professional partner when it comes to helping uniquely prepare their child with the skills theyll need to thrive not just in school, but in life.

Meeting with Dr. Russell was a life-changing experience for me. Just about anyone can encourage you to work hard, but Dr. Russell guides you in such a way that you yourself want to work hard and achieve your goals. Even still, you might be able to find someone else who might be able to encourage you as Dr. Russell does. However, not only does Dr. Russell guide you while simultaneously taking a back seat to you, but she also teaches you all the strategies you need to work at 100% efficiency. By meeting with Dr. Russell, I went from being pretty aimless to being someone who can set a goal and follow it through from step one to step done.

I loved Dr. Russell as soon as I met her. She is extremely knowledgeable, wonderfully warm and exceptionally empathetic. I left our first meeting feeling so hopeful! Her counselors have also been excellent. They are positive, encouraging and they teach without judgment. Working with an outside counselor allows my son to relax -- theres no parental pressure involved, no fear of disappointing Mom and Dad -- its much less stressful for him. Norrine and her team are 100% committed to improving my sons scholastic performance, his mental outlook and his confidence. They work with the whole child and theyre always educating and supporting us as parents too. Its a complete team effort. I know that if were struggling, we can reach out with our questions, and theyll be there to help.

There are few words I can say to express how much I value the coaching received by our team with Russell Coaching LLC! We are beyond amazed and feel so supported as we move through this crazy world we are living. Thank you so so much to Russell Coaching for not only being true professionals but for being true people whose care for their clients is expressed in everything they do and through every interaction. If you or someone you know is in need of support, especially with virtual school I highly and whole-heartedly recommend Russell Coaching.

Dr. Russell has been a life saver for our family. My son has gone from a student that was 22 assignments behind a year ago to a student that is getting it and might be an assignment or two behind and still improving! And we’ve only been working with Dr. Russell since November! She has empowered my son to take control of his work and feel like he is in charge. His grades have improved dramatically. This is not a quick process or an easy fix. It takes work from everyone. I’ve learned a different way to communicate with my son that has been a game changer when dealing with the teen brain. Dr. Russell is an amazing resource and is well connected with other professionals in the area. She works seamlessly with my student’s doctor. She provides updates and and is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her and her team.

Our son was a patient of Ms Russells practice for 8-9 months. We were referred to her by another Dr who felt her techniques were going to help. As many of you reading this review may know, having a child with ADHD who is struggling in school is extremely stressful and difficult for parents who truly care about their childs academic success. We had spent what seemed like years trying to build a team around him and really felt Ms Russells practice was the right choice. Our initial time with her was great. We were paired up with a great Coach who truly cared for our son, even coming to a drive-by birthday party during COVID quarantine. As the 2020 Fall school year began we had only a couple of face-to-face sessions with our Coach, and then due to concerns about COVID a business decision was made to move all appointments virtual. Our sons grades werent what any of us hoped they would be during the first quarter, so I sent an email inquiring about face-to-face appointments for quarter two. Email updates and talks with our Coach lead us to believe our son would do much better face-to-face and she felt comfortable in an environment like that, even suggesting reserving a conference room at the library. However, after multiple unanswered emails, Ms Russell finally responded and flat refused our request saying her business model had changed and she was only offering virtual coaching. This is where our time with her practice ended. I dont understand how a subject matter expert in ADHD could just leave one of her patients high and dry making Ds and Fs because of the exact issues she was supposed to be treating. I would not recommend Russell Coaching to anyone who has a child with ADHD based on her inability to appropriately communicate this potentially permanent change, as well as a lack of empathy, not even responding to my email when I told her we were leaving her practice. Fast forward to the end of the second quarter and without the support of Russell Coaching and with more direct contact with my sons teachers, his grades improved in every class by one full letter grade. Well done, Son.

Dr. Russell has been a part of our family for the past 3 years. She has been an amazing teacher, guide and advocate for my daughter with ADHD. Not only does she help students develop better executive functioning skills, she is also a trusted advisor to parents. If you have a child who has ADHD or learning differences, I highly recommend giving coaching a try.

Russell Coaching is just a truly exceptional place. Everyone, from the founder Dr. Norrine Russell to the Intakes Specialist to the coaches, are incredibly dedicated to looking at the whole picture and helping students of all ages. Russell Coaching knows about executive functioning, ADHD, psychology, and education. There’s no better coaching practice for students for middle school through college!

As a Nurse Practitioner and Founder/Owner of a clinic devoted exclusively to ADHD, I have worked with Russell Coaching for two years and have nothing but praise for Dr. Russell and her associates. What I particularly appreciate is that Dr. Russell is such a strong advocate for wholistic ADHD treatment and works collaboratively with medical professionals like myself to make sure everything possible is done for the child or teen. Highly recommend!!

I have been working with Russell Coaching for the last 6 months to assist my son with ADHD coaching. Due to pre-existing medical conditions, my son is not eligible for medication so coaching is particularly important for him. Norrine and her team are very engaged, friendly and practical. I don’t know what I would’ve done during this difficult time homeschooling during quarantine without their assistance. I would highly recommend their services. Please excuse the name under this post my son changed our display name and I can’t figure out how to undo it. :-)

Norrine has been an advocate for my daughter, she has changed the way I see and communicate with her.I’m an adult that suffers from ADHD, my teenager does too, I wish I’d had a Norrine in my corner, full of support, advice and knowledge .We are blessed to have such a warm profesional guiding us through the challenges my girl has had in school and life.
