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.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Teri! I love integrating my Christian faith and biblical principles with therapeutic interventions. I know for many of us, we have experienced trauma that has left us wounded, and I believe God desires healing and restoration. I help individuals juggling family, work, and relationships while quietly struggling inside. Struggling with past experiences, and sometimes unresolved pain, that is affecting how you feel and function. I want to help you break free from the weight of past trauma so it doesn’t define your present or your future and I’m here to walk with you as you pursue that.
