You are traveling and with guidance along the way you will find the necessary tools to lead you to emotional, mental, and spiritual growth and well-being. Let's start this journey together.

Greetings. I'm Yulonda Ross and I specialize in Substance Use Disorders and I provide counseling for anger management as well. Are you struggling with trying to quit using alcohol and drugs? Has your relationship been affected by your substance use? Is all of your leisure time consumed with using? You’re probably full of emotions, questions, and doubts. You may be wondering what I do now; is there any hope; and is it even possible to get better? You may be feeling overwhelmed, scared, and stressed. People do overcome substance abuse and return back to a healthy lifestyle. I’ll help steer you in the right direction.

Helping another person find hope when they'd had none, replace self-doubt with confidence and despair with fulfillment, to cope and function better in life: these kinds of things are what drive my existence. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I would love to help you in any or all of these areas. I treat the most common problems such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychosis, but I am particularly passionate about helping people who are leery about seeking therapy out of fear or judgment of embarrassment. I am also drive to help those with trauma and abuse-related problems.

I can think of no greater responsibility than keeping someone’s secrets or any greater joy than holding someone’s hand while they do the difficult work of changing their lives. I became a therapist because I believe in our ability to CHANGE. The ability to change is one of our greatest gifts and abilities, but in life sometimes we get STUCK. Stuck in bad relationships, stuck in dead-end jobs, or stuck in patterns of behavior that keep us miserable and defeated. My job and my joy is to help you get UN-stuck.

I believe in people's ability to heal and grow after difficult experiences. However, it can be hard to know where to start, who to trust, or what might be helpful.

For many years my clients have primarily been individuals, groups, and families coming out of abusive and sometimes violent relationships and addiction. Although that was the original primary focus, most of them also struggled with other accompanying factors like depression, anxiety and other serious mental health diagnoses. My clinical focus has recently shifted to more of a community-based population. I have found this work incredibly rewarding. I enjoy working with additional needs such as grief, prenatal, postpartum depression, and abandonment trauma to name a few.

You are your greatest asset. I realize how difficult it is to make the first step towards positive change which is why I am excited that you have made this choice. I have over seventeen years of experience in the field of counseling. I am here to help guide you on your important, yet difficult journey. I look forward to helping you realize new opportunities as we travel the path of your personal growth. Personal honesty is the key to self discovery and ultimately the path to wholeness, your decision to thrive begins with you.
