Heather Ross

Heather Ross is a licensed clinical social worker in Utah with seven years of clinical practice. She helps teens and adults who are dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, body image struggles, and LGBTQIA-related concerns. She also supports people coping with grief, loss, disordered eating, and parenting stress.

Before her current practice, she spent many years in mental health settings including inpatient treatment, child protective services, foster care, and domestic violence shelter work. That experience shaped how she listens and responds to people in crisis and in long-term recovery.

Her style is identity-centered and compassionate. She focuses on building trust first, then works together with each person to identify practical steps toward better sleep, emotion regulation, and daily functioning. Sessions can include focused skill work, problem solving, and attention to how identity and life stressors affect wellbeing.

Heather uses several clinical approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. These are mixed to fit the needs of each person rather than applied the same way to everyone.

She values helping people notice their own inner wisdom and then practicing new habits that bring more rest and predictability to daily life. For parents worried about sleep or routines, she aims to make plans that are realistic and easy to use between sessions.
