Robert Ross, LCSW

Change is difficult no matter how young or old we may feel or be. The journey of your change is what I look forward to experiencing with you, no matter how quickly or how long it may take. Together we can try different paths so you can find the one that works in this moment. That exploration will work towards learning self-affirming ways that you can cope with challenges and become a stronger, more self-assured and resilient person.

I primarily work with adults. Our company, Meristem Therapy Services, practices integrated harm reduction psychotherapy which places the emphasis for setting goals and determining topics for our sessions on you, not a prescribed format. We also utilize interpersonal, relational, and narrative therapies, motivational enhancement therapy, CBT, and CPT for trauma. We embrace a clinical style that is person-centered, identity-affirming, and culturally responsive that informs how your work with your therapist can help you effectively navigate the complexities of your life.

I will meet you where you are with your story and together we can build opportunities for you to approach your story with strength and make informed choices. I value the relationship that forms within therapy and emphasize your strengths. Together, let's find ways to talk about your strengths so that you can take that into your daily life.
