Melanie Ross

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker in California with 20 years experience as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues (including couples and family issues), career issues, parenting problems, health issues, pet illness and loss, and various other concerns. I have worked in various settings including an inpatient psychiatric hospital, outpatient psychiatry office, community mental health center, and a regular medical hospital setting. My style is warm, interactive and empathic with no judgement. I employ a variety of approaches depending on your specific needs. No one approach fits every client. I have met many clients who have suffered too long before seeking help, thinking that it would be weak to do so. Seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. Taking the first step towards change can be scary, but in the end it will be worth it. It will take some time, and everyone is different in how they walk that path. I am here to support and empower you and look forward to working with you!
