The Ross Center - Optimal Treatment for Anxiety & Mental Health

Multidisciplinary Treatment Center for Anxiety and Mental Health in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and NYC.

For over 30 years, The Ross Center has been providing effective, long-lasting solutions that allow children and adults to live their best lives. Our internationally renowned psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists provide an array of evidence-based psychological and psychiatric treatments for a wide variety of mental health conditions. This unique, collaborative approach to treatment ensures that 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.

One of the most common questions we get about our group therapy opportunities is “what are the benefits of group therapy over individual therapy?” While there are benefits to both, group therapy may be especially appealing for those who have already benefited from individual therapy and want to practice their skills in real time. It may also be ideal for those who are searching for peer support and connection or lower cost options for therapy. Group therapy still offers evidence-based skills which can greatly help clients and can be done in addition to individual therapy!

For most of America, August is back-to-school month. For many parents, it’s a busy month full of their normal, daily responsibilities of work and home, and getting kids ready for their first day of school: shopping, organizing schedules, attending orientations, and teacher meets. For many students, however, these moments are something they’d like to avoid altogether. Once the back-to-school ads start rolling and the emails from administrators and teachers start arriving, a familiar anxiety creeps in. For some children, these may just be normal back-to-school jitters, but for others it may be more. It’s a crushing worry and fear that needs support and intervention. Here’s how to recognize school anxiety and how to help children suffering from it. Parents, here are some tips to help your child if they are nervous about going back to school!

Life can feel overwhelming—especially when emotions run high, relationships are strained, or daily responsibilities start to pile up. For many adults, these challenges can lead to patterns of anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, or impulsive behaviors that can lead to chronic feelings of emptiness. If this sounds familiar, a comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program might offer the structure and support needed to balance acceptance of oneself as they are with using skills to create lasting change. At The Ross Center, our comprehensive DBT program helps adults who feel stuck in patterns of emotional dysregulation, self-criticism, or intense relationships. If this sounds like you or someone you love, there’s hope—and help.
