Ross is passionate about providing an integrative approach with influences from humanistic existentialism, cognitive behavioral therapy, and individuals facing co-occurring disorders. Ross’s perspective is rooted in the understanding that mental health and substance use are not isolated issues; rather, they often intersect and influence one another. Ross believes that by acknowledging this interplay and addressing it with empathy and evidence-based approaches, individuals can find more effective paths to healing and recovery.
