I have been licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 2004 and have held a supervision designation since 2015. I have also held a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor with a supervision/training designation license since 2018. I have maintained a private counseling practice in Chillicothe since 2000 and I continue to work with individuals and families in that capacity. I have dedicated my career to helping others and to working with the community to ensure the well-being of families and children.

My communication style

My communication tone or approach tends to be direct but laid back. We are in session to work together not have me tell you what to do or where you need to go

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support — whether it’s a small step or a huge leap — takes real courage. If life feels messy, overwhelming, or hard to navigate alone, therapy can give you the grounding, clarity, and tools you need. I work with people moving through major life transitions, the challenges of early parenthood, complicated parent–child dynamics, relationship struggles, trauma, self-worth concerns, and emotions that feel difficult to name or express. You deserve space to slow down, understand yourself, and feel supported.

Hello and Welcome! If you are seeking results, you have come to the right place! I am Heidi Ross, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and Licensed Professional Clinical Candidate in the state of Colorado.

A little about me. I received my Bachelor of Psychology in 2000 and my Master of Education in Community Counseling in 2002 from the University of Akron. For 9 years, I provided therapeutic counseling services to children and adults in outpatient, home-based, and school-based settings. For the past 11 years, I have provided outpatient mental health therapy to individuals, couples, and families of all ages, in person and via telehealth, in a private practice setting.

I am a very diverse therapist who feels it is very important to meet clients where they are at. I have an open-door policy regarding client population. We are all in this life together and may need assistance to get through! I provide high-quality care to older teens, adults, and couples in need through the convenience of telehealth. “It is my mission to help others help themselves, and to help them get through life’s obstacles!"
