Paul Ross

Life is full of uncertainties and things beyond our control. I believe that we are all doing our best, but sometimes we can feel stuck, whether it’s in our relationships, jobs, or general way of thinking. I want to work with you to help empower you as you navigate life’s obstacles. I believe that people know themselves best and for that reason I take a collaborative approach when working with my clients. I will work with you to rewrite the story of your life and to move forward in a meaningful way. I specialize helping you to address anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and trauma among a myriad of other issues and their impact on your life using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Reality Therapy among a variety of other approaches to help you explore a different way of looking at your life and empower you to navigate life’s obstacles. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling from The University of Mississippi (2015) and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee and Mississippi. I have been building my counseling skills since I pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in psychology. When I was going through this adjustment period I was looking for someone to listen and help bring insight to my life and I found it very beneficial to talk with a counselor. Since that first session I have known I have wanted to help others through counseling. Through my experiences I have come to enjoy working with people who struggle with feelings of being out of control when it comes to their thoughts and how they are impacted by these false beliefs that are built up over the years. It can be very easy to feel like you are alone in this struggle. It can be a vulnerable experience sharing your concerns and fears with others when these thoughts become so overwhelming. I want to help you gain insight into your life and to take action to discover your true potential to thrive. I bring personal and professional experience to the therapy room and provide a nonjudgmental space for you to share your story and to build a new relationship with yourself and to your experiences. I believe by taking this courageous step of seeking therapy you are helping to take care of yourself in a very powerful way. Taking action helps you to get out of that feeling of being stuck by achieving gradual milestones to help make progress manageable. I will help you create a plan that addresses what you are struggling with currently and for working through future struggles. I recognize we are all unique and work with you to build a plan that will help identify specifically how you want the story of your life to go and help shine a light on the meaningful steps you take along the way. I want to be an ally as you make the brave decision to live your life to the fullest.
