Two Careers, One Calling

Daniel and Stephanie Ross both came to clinical social work later in life, after earlier careers and years spent studying physical anthropology and archaeology. That path led them through community mental health work in New Mexico, supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, people navigating probation and parole, and Native American and Pueblo communities. A move to Illinois to be closer to family became the catalyst for opening their own practice. Ross Therapy and Wellness in Grayslake is the result: a husband-and-wife team combining licensed clinical expertise with a shared understanding of how much life can change, and how much support can help along the way.
