I’m Mike Russell, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and founder of Perseverance Point Counseling in Park Ridge, Illinois. I hold master’s degrees in counseling and public affairs. I help adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. Drawing on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches, I work with you to understand patterns, build on your strengths, and develop tools that fit your life. Together, we’ll set meaningful goals and work toward them at a pace that respects your needs.
