Hi there! My name is Amanda Russo and I’m the clinical director of Balanced Life Solutions. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I’ve lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area my whole life. I went to The University of Texas in Dallas and obtained a Bachelor’s in Child Learning and Development and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. During undergrad, I entered an internship working with autistic children, which spurred my love for working with the neurodivergent community. I then went on to study at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where I received a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling. It was during my time at UTSW that I discovered my passion for neuropsychological and educational assessment where I worked for both the UTSW Psychological Services Department and the Parkland Trauma Unit. After school, I went on to work in several private practices, local community mental health clinics and public schools. In addition to being a counselor, I’m also a certified teacher in elementary education, special education, and school counseling. I’m extremely passionate about advocating for the appropriate educational services for children with special needs. After working for the schools, I did neuroscience research and treatment for divergent social cognition with the University of Texas at Dallas’ Brain Performance Institute. There, I utilized technology to provide treatment in an online interface, focusing on improving childrens’ ability to understand other peoples’ thoughts and implicit social information. Additionally, I gave presentations around the DFW metroplex focusing on how educators and parents could help foster social cognition. I have expertise in neurodivergent diagnoses including autism, ADHD, and learning differences including gifted learners. Additionally, I have a strong passion for working with neurodivergent women and AFAB individuals as they are chronically under- and misdiagnosed due to their presentation of symptoms. When I’m not counseling, I love spending time with my three children. I also enjoy singing, traveling, and reading books, especially on the topics of neuroscience and psychology.

I hold both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science degree from Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas. My professional credentials include dual board certifications: one as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and another as a Family Nurse Practitioner recognized by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). My current focus lies in the field of psychiatric mental health, delivered through telehealth services. My mission is to enhance the accessibility of mental health care, eliminating barriers to reach individuals in need. I'm dedicated to offering you a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to address a wide spectrum of mental and emotional concerns, ranging from stress, anger, and depression to anxiety, emotional distress, and various other conditions, regardless of their magnitude.
