Russo attended graduate school at Centenary College, now known as Centenary University, where she received her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. Jennifer has served on the Board of Centenary University and was a speaker for the graduating commencement in 2020.
“Jenny is a poised master clinician, and we are excited to have her at Brookdale,” said Amy Durham, Chief Executive Officer, at Brookdale. “Jenny’s extensive background in trauma and program development will bolster Brookdale’s already clinically sophisticated program and help more people suffering from the disease of addiction. Jenny is a talented, innovative leader with integrity and passion for cultivating talent. Her ability to individualize treatment is unmatched and we are delighted to have her join our Executive Team.”
Russo is dually licensed through the state of New Jersey as a License Professional Counselor and License Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor and recognized from the Center of Credentialing and Education Inc. as an Approved Clinical Supervisor. Jennifer is a skilled clinician in trauma work and motivational interviewing from an Existential Approach. As a huge advocate for those in recovery and their loved ones, Russo believes the foundation of recovery comes with the revival of connection. Jennifer became interested in the treatment field of substance use disorder when she began her initial internship working with adolescents and adults. “I’m extremely grateful and humbled by the opportunity to work with such an amazing and talented clinical team” says Russo. “Brookdale is such a special place and I feel extremely excited to be part of something truly unique, on its own. Every staff member at Brookdale truly has a passion for helping others, and I am eager to see how we can continue to expand on our compassion to help those recover.”
