Russel Whitehall, LMHC
Licensed in: Washington
I’m inspired by the opportunity to support clients in navigating necessary life changes to heal and grow into the best versions of themselves. My work is driven by a passion for adaptability in mental health care, and I’m dedicated to creating a space where clients feel empowered to take steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Providing remote mental health services allows me to meet clients where they are and extend support to those who might otherwise face barriers to care.

About Me
I earned my MS in Counseling from Central Washington University in 2022, and I specialize in treating depression, trauma, and anxiety. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, which I adapt to each individual’s needs. I also integrate Motivational Interviewing to help clients discover their strengths and motivations for change. Together, we’ll work toward your goals in a collaborative, supportive environment where healing and personal growth can flourish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
How much will my appointment cost?
Seeking help is hard, paying for it shouldn’t be. Our goal is to make mental health care affordable and accessible to all, by working with insurance companies to cover mental health services in-network. Over 90% of our clients are getting great care with only a co-pay fee.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
