Ivana Ross, LMFT

Ivana Ross is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in New York who brings a strong commitment to counseling work. As an LMFT - which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she views therapy as a vital tool for gaining self-understanding, improving relationships, and addressing both individual and interpersonal challenges. Her practice emphasizes a personalized, empathetic approach that prioritizes each person's unique needs and circumstances.

She holds a certificate in clinical hypnotherapy and serves as a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family, roles she uses to broaden her clinical expertise and refine the services offered to clients. Her clinical interests include marriage and family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, anger management, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder, with a focus on helping people regain balance and practical skills for daily life.

Ivana uses a range of therapeutic methods and tailors treatment to the individual. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, existential approaches, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and psychoanalytic ideas. She also applies brief, solution-focused techniques alongside hypnotherapy when appropriate to address concerns such as anxiety, phobias, weight management, and chemical dependency.

She encourages a thoughtful process for finding the right therapeutic fit and asks that people allow themselves time to navigate that journey. Her practice is grounded in deep care and empathy, and she aims to help clients uncover the internal resources needed to restore emotional and relational balance.
