About Michele Ross, LCSW

Trauma and Relationship Specialist in Los Angeles
with Over 25 Years of Experience

Michele Ross, LCSW

With a direct yet compassionate approach, I specialize in guiding clients to find solution-oriented goals so they can heal and transform. I know that your past - childhood trauma, dysfunctional family systems, grief - impact how you experience the world.

I help clients like you to connect to themselves and understand the source of unhelpful core beliefs and patterns. Once you process your past events and memories, you can move past the negative sensations and triggers to live a healthier, more vibrant life.

I have a passion for working with Adult Children of Narcissists, survivors of Trauma, individuals dealing with Addiction and Recovery, and Couples struggling in their relationship. 

The core of my work
is to help you decrease or break negative thought patterns
so that you can get “unstuck” 
and create a lasting change in your behavior.
