Ross’ individual counseling technique is a practical skills and problem solving approach. Examples of issues that clients have presented in the past are personal growth, relationship issues, parenting struggles, depression, anxiety, or someone experiencing any trauma or loss.
After the hour long assessment, you as a potential client will have an idea if you wish to return, and Ross will tell you if he thinks your problem is within the scope of his expertise.
Fees are discussed prior to the assessment and Ross recommends to contact your insurance company prior to the initial assessment.
Couples often come to Ross by having friends or co-workers talk about their experience as clients.
