The mission of the Indianapolis Counseling Center is to enhance the lives of those suffering from the ailments and consequences of sexual maladaptive behaviors, substance abuse and mental health issues (anger control, depression, and marital counseling). We use psycho-education and therapy approaches relevant to individual needs. We further strive to prevent the occurrence of victimization onto others (children or adult) as the goal of treatment successfully completed by one client at a time.

Bree Russo is unprofessional in her actions and words towards her clients at ICC. She is judgmental, basically to the point of verbal abuse. In group meetings she doesn't respect HIPPA, sharing personal details of group member. She is unable to separate her personal feelings from her work and clients, which interferes with her ability to be effective in her position. I would not recommend her.

Not sure if the quality yet but my bf is going because he is abusive. It would seem it’s all about money not helping people as they will not give him his assessment paperwork or tell him anything until he pays them $50. They did the assessment though. There is not much reasonable help for men that have tendencies to get violent. It’s sad. Tons of battered women shelters. No help for the men that batter.
