Licensed Clinical Social Worker
My name is Metkel Russom, and I am a Clinical Social Work Resident at our Reston, VA clinic with some experience from residential programs, hospital settings, community mental health, nonprofits, and government agencies. I’ve supported clients across the lifespan — youth through older adults — navigating bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions.
My approach is collaborative and steady. I integrate CBT, solution‑focused therapy, trauma‑informed care, DBT, and a strengths‑based perspective to meet you where you are and help you move toward meaningful change.
If you’re reading this, you may be looking for a place where you can finally slow down and feel understood. I offer a calm, supportive space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. Healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and respected — and my role is to walk alongside you as you make sense of what you’re feeling and reconnect with your resilience.
Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, strengthen your boundaries, and build tools that help you move through life with more clarity and steadiness. If you’re hoping for a place to exhale, you’re welcome here.
