Real Housewives of Beverly Hills beauty Taylor Armstrong and her husband, Russell Armstrong, showed signs of strain in their marriage on the Bravo hit show and now Radar Online has exclusively learned the couple is in therapy.Audiences watched the first season of the show as the pair seemed to become more disconnected and a source close to the situation tells Radar Online that the couple is trying to work through their issues with the help of renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy.
"Dr. Sophy was introduced to Taylor by their mutual friend, Adrienne Maloof-Nassif. Adrienne is truly the anchor for the cast members, they all gravitate towards her for guidance. Adrienne wants Taylor to find peace, and Dr. Sophy is helping her do that.”
And while the couple takes steps to repair the breakdown in their marriage, we’re told several of the sessions with Dr. Sophy will be filmed for the upcoming season Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, although Russell is not quite as receptive to the cameras as Taylor.
“Dr. Sophy has seen Taylor and Russell together, and separately. Some of Taylor's sessions with Dr. Sophy will be filmed and featured on the second season. Russell hasn't decided yet if he wants to participate on camera. Dr. Sophy has provided the couple with a great deal of guidance, and they genuinely do seem to be working through their issues. Russell comes across on camera as being very aloof, and reclusive, that just isn't who he is. Russell wants to work to improve the marriage, it just isn't Taylor, which is a very, very good sign for the future of their marriage."
Dr. Sophy is a board certified psychiatrist - his patients include, Paris Hilton, Mel B and her husband Stephen Belafonte.
