Denise Ross, MA, MFT operates a women-owned psychotherapy practice out of 1337 Camino Del Mar, Suite E, Del Mar, CA 92014, where she has been treating individuals and couples since establishing her private practice in 1991 — giving her more than three decades of clinical experience. She is licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences under MFT license number 28063, a credential she has held since 1991 after earning her master's degree in Counseling and Education from United States International University (now Alliant International University) in 1987. Ross is trained in EMDR Level 1 and Level 2, having originally completed the certification in 2003 and repeated the full training in 2021 to stay current with updated protocols. EMDR is her primary modality for helping clients release negative thought patterns, distressing memories, and self-destructive behaviors. Her practice focuses on adult individuals and couples dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, divorce, career transitions, and relationship difficulties. She also holds a Marriage and Family Therapy license in North Carolina, making her available for telecounseling clients in that state. Her Del Mar office is LGBTQ+ friendly and designated a transgender safespace, with a gender-neutral restroom available. Ross accepts insurance through Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and other major carriers, and she offers a free 15-minute phone consultation for prospective clients. Hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, with Saturday morning availability from 9 AM to 1 PM. Her upstairs suite sits in the same Camino Del Mar building as M'Lissa Trent, Ph.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Executive Coach, giving the address a strong concentration of mental health professionals.
