Hi, great to have you here! I know it can feel overwhelming to seek out therapy and find a good fit, and hope we might take that next step together! Many clients have described my personality as warm, not clinical, and intuitive to their emotions.

While I have worked for years with diverse clients, I specialize and work with people-pleasing women who want to increase their confidence, Christians who want to integrate faith + mental health, and individuals who feel the weight of their past impacting who they are today.

Hello, my name is Kateri Ross, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Davis, and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Health Psychology from Santa Clara University.

My clinical background includes work in both community mental health and private practice settings, where I have helped individuals manage acute challenges as well as long-standing emotional and behavioral patterns that impact daily functioning and overall well-being.

I specialize in working with adults ages 18 and older experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, binge eating, perfectionism, procrastination, stress management, and life transitions. I also support individuals who struggle with self-critical thinking, guilt, shame, emotional overwhelm, managing stress or difficulty maintaining balance during demanding phases of life.

Imagine being as kind and reliable to yourself as you are to everyone else. If you are exhausted from overthinking, taking on too much at work or home, and feeling like you're carrying the mental load for everyone around you, we can work on changing that.

My sessions are practical and down-to-earth. I won't just sit back and nod. We'll look at the everyday habits (like perfectionism, over-committing, and struggling to delegate) that leave you feeling drained, and focus on practical steps to regain your time and head space.

My focus is helping women navigate everyday anxiety, manage burnout, and set healthy boundaries with family, friends, and work. The goal is to help you build real self-trust, so you can spend less energy managing daily stress and more time feeling present in your life.

I offer virtual daytime appointments across California (Mon, Tue, Wed 9:00 AM–2:30 PM, and Thu 9:00AM–2:00 PM). My practice is structured for scheduled sessions primarily focused on managing anxiety. Please note: I do not provide crisis support, acute emotional distress care, or treatment for complex clinical conditions.

When you're ready, click "Book Session" to schedule a 15-minute phone screening to discuss your goals and confirm mutual fit.
