Ross Grossman

If worry, low mood, relationship friction, or chronic procrastination has been running the show, you're in the right place. I'm Ross Grossman, LMFT — for nearly 40 years, I've helped people get unstuck from depression, anxiety, romantic, social, family or occupational issues using practical, evidence-based tools (CBT, REBT, ACT, and clinical hypnotherapy) that create real change, not endless talk.

My work has been featured in Forbes, Men's Health, and Cosmopolitan, and I see clients throughout California by telehealth. Book a free 15-minute consultation and let's see if we're a fit.

If anxiety won't quiet down, low mood has dulled the things you love, the same fight keeps repeating, or you keep putting off the life you actually want — there's a reason, and there's a way out.

The work is warm and direct, drawing on CBT, REBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy to cut through what's keeping you stuck in anxiety, depression, relationship friction, procrastination, and substance use — informed by years inside Kaiser Permanente's Psychiatry and Chemical Dependency Programs and over 30 years or private practice. Expect real tools, real progress, and a therapist who treats your time like it matters.

The first session is about you — your story, what brought you here, and what you want to be different. Come as you are; there's no script to follow and no right way to start. Together, we'll get clear on what's actually driving the problem, identify a few concrete priorities, and sketch out a plan so you leave with direction instead of more questions. Expect a space that's warm but focused — room to feel whatever you're feeling, and forward motion from day one. By the end, you'll know what we're working on, how we'll work on it, and whether we're the right fit — no pressure either way.
