Taylor Armstrong & Husband Are In Therapy

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.

Taylor Armstrong Is 'Working' On Her Marriage

The first season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills focused heavily on Camille Grammer's divorce drama. But another housewife, Taylor Armstrong, also struggled with her own marital issues throughout the season.

At the end of the first season of the hit franchise, fans were left wondering if the reality star and her husband Russell Armstrong were also headed towards divorce, but Taylor tells Radar Online exclusively they're "still together" and "working on things."

"I think that marriage is a work in progress and it's something that you really have to stay on top of so we're trying to do a better job of that," Taylor said.

So how are they making it work?

"I think for both of us we're so dedicated to our jobs and our businesses, and also being a mother is such a huge part of my life, that balancing those two things and still finding time for romance and taking care of the relationship from a romantic side and also from a friendship side we have to just be better at that," said the hard working mom, who has a daughter, Kennedy.

"So we're just trying to check in with one another more frequently and not always make it about business."

As for a return for season 2, which hasn't yet been announced by Bravo, Taylor says there's still more in store: "I do think there are stories that are left to be told and the relationships are changing, some of our friendships are deepening and we're getting to know each other better.

"Things are changing, our kids are getting older, our relationships are changing, our friendships, our marriages, our work lives, the changes that occur in life."

Taylor Talks Good, Bad and Ugly of Reality TV

Stepping into the spotlight as one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been a blessing and a curse for Taylor Armstrong.

"It's not easy having your life on television for people to judge you and feel like they can evaluate your life because you put it out there," she said in Dallas on Saturday at the Style Icon gifting lounge, which catered to celebrities in town for the Super Bowl. "It's been a little harder than I thought. Sometimes people aren't very kind."

On the other hand, Armstrong, whose troubled marriage to Russell was a storyline on Real Housewives, says that her relationship is stronger now that they have weathered a rough patch in such a public way.

"Reality TV has a way of fast-tracking everything in your life," she said. "[Russell and I] had to observe that we'd lost touch with one another. It was good for us in the respect that it forced us to pay attention. It wasn't easy going through it, but now, in the end, it's been helpful. We were able to say, 'We really have lost touch with each other. We need to do something.' "

Armstrong admits having regrets when it comes to the drama between her and costar Kim Richards. "I feel pretty good about everything – except my conflict with Kim," Armstrong said. "I wasn't really aware that she was going through as many personal challenges as she was, because I wasn't really privy to that. So I feel bad about our conflicts. I wish I'd known then what I know now. But it's life. So I wish her the best and I'm absolutely here if she needs anything."

As for costar Camille Grammer – perhaps the most controversial Housewife on Beverly Hills – Armstrong is also sympathetic.

"To go through such a public divorce with small children ... I feel really bad for her that she went through all of that while filming a reality show," she says. "Because that's enough stress as it is."

Taylor Armstrong Not Doing RHOBH Season 2?

While it is rumored that Kim Richards and Camille Grammer might not come back for a second season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, there may be one housewife who isn’t wanted back.

It is being rumored that Bravo hasn’t decided if they want Taylor Armstrong back or not, states E! News. Her storyline reportedly didn’t capture as much attention as Bravo was hoping.

However, it seems hard to believe that Bravo wouldn’t want her back since her marriage is still in limbo and could make for a good story in the next season.
