For over 30 years, The Ross Center has been providing effective, long-lasting solutions that allow children and adults to live their best lives.

This unique, collaborative approach to treatment ensures t

hat you receive the optimal mix of services, resulting in faster improvement, significant reduction in symptoms, and hope for a healthier future. The Ross Center was established by visionary anxiety specialist Jerilyn Ross, whose own struggle with mental illness inspired her to create a world-class mental health center for others whose lives have been disrupted by anxiety and depression. After receiving treatment for her own anxiety and phobia, she cofounded the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) in 1979. We pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest research and providing the best practices to our patients and their families. As anxiety and depression rates have skyrocketed, the need for short-term, effective treatment for mental health disorders has grown. We’ve responded to that need with expanding mental health centers in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and New York City. Our compassionate patient care team is trained to listen carefully to your concerns and direct you to the clinician and/or type of service best suited to your situation. You’ll find offices that have been designed for your comfort, with calming interiors in a relaxed setting. In addition, we offer evening and weekend hours so that booking an appointment is not another stressor in your life. We Can Help - Call us to schedule your first appointment.

You don’t have to be involved in a tragedy to feel its weight. High-profile cases, like the Idaho 4, can shake your sense of safety and stir up anxiety. If you’re feeling scared, overwhelmed, on guard, or just emotional, know that your nervous system is doing its job.

Your thoughts shape how you feel but they aren’t always telling the truth. If you tend to think in extremes or spiral into self-doubt, thought reframing can help. It’s a simple strategy rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that helps you pause, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and replace them with something more balanced. It doesn’t mean ignoring what’s hard. It means making room for a more compassionate, realistic perspective. If you’re interested in learning more about tools like this, navigate to our page and get started with one of our therapist or group therapy opportunities today!

Not all DBT is the same and understanding the difference matters.

DBT-informed care uses selected skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, such as mindfulness or emotion regulation, and integrates them into other therapeutic approaches. It can be helpful for building coping tools, but it is not the full DBT model. Comprehensive DBT follows the full, evidence-based treatment developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. It includes individual therapy, weekly skills training groups, between-session coaching, and a therapist consultation team. This structured approach is designed for individuals experiencing chronic emotion dysregulation, self-harm, or suicidal ideation.
