Jenna Ross, EdD, CMPC, LAC Associate Counselor
I use an eclectic approach to assist individuals looking to break cycles of mediocrity and overcome barriers keeping them stuck. I combine both cognitive behavioral therapy, with a person-centered approach, and believe in a strong therapeutic alliance to help clients make positive changes. I believe in advocacy for the client, and want the client to feel safe and be their truest self. Some specialty areas are: overcoming self-limiting beliefs, interpersonal relationships, healing from abuse, depression, anxiety, behavior modification. As a certified mental performance consultant, I also work with individuals seeking to optimize performance, specialties include: mental toughness, self-talk, focus, confidence, emotional regulation, thought management, motivation, performance anxiety, leadership development, life transitions, female athlete and team development.
My philosophy is that βthe mind is the strongest muscle in the bodyβ which comes from my unique background serving in the military for thirteen years. I emphasize personal accountability while practicing compassion. I earned my Doctorate degree in Sport and Performance Psychology specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Western States in 2022, and have a Masterβs of Science in both Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Sport and Performance Psychology earned in 2019, also from the University of Western States.
I became a counselor and consultant because of my passion to help clients walk in the true absolute freedom and authenticity. This originated from my own journey to freedom. Personally, I enjoy spending time with family and my two daughters. I love being active and in the outdoors. I am also a professional bodybuilder and believe in fitness and nutrition as a lifestyle!
