Heather Ross

Heather Ross is a licensed clinical social worker in Utah (UT LCSW 7265431-3501) who brings six years of clinical experience to her practice. She has worked across a range of settings, including inpatient treatment for youth and adults, child protective services, foster care, a domestic violence shelter, and in-home services for people with disabilities.

She specializes in helping teens and adults who are navigating addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, body image concerns, perfectionism, attachment challenges, and LGBTQIA-related issues, as well as disordered eating and coping with grief and loss. Heather also has experience supporting people with dual diagnosis, autism, personality disorders, OCD, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder.

Heather emphasizes that finding the right therapist is an important first step toward healing, and she believes effective therapy grows from a strong, trusting relationship. Her approach is identity-centered and rooted in compassion, presence, and genuine understanding. In session she aims to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom by serving as a sounding board, offering practical support, and holding space for self-discovery and growth.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, Heather is trained in Brainspotting - a neuroscience-informed modality that can support deeper trauma processing. Many of her clients have found Brainspotting to be transformative, particularly when other approaches have not produced the desired progress.
