Daniel and Stephanie Ross came to therapy as second careers — after their kids had headed off to college, both found their way back to school, first drawn toward physical anthropology and archaeology, and eventually toward social work. The path began in New Mexico, where Stephanie started her social work studies after a conversation with a friend. A couple of years later, Daniel followed.

Stephanie became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2012, and Daniel followed in 2014. Working side by side, they spent years in community mental health, supporting people experiencing homelessness, working with individuals on probation and parole, and partnering with an agency serving the Native American and Pueblo communities of New Mexico.

Eventually, the pull of family brought them to Illinois, closer to their grandkids and their son and daughter-in-law. That move became the opening for something they'd both been working toward for years: opening their own private practice, built on everything they'd learned along the way. Today, Ross Therapy and Wellness sits at 100 S Atkinson Rd, Suite 202, in Grayslake, IL, serving clients throughout Lake County including Libertyville, Gurnee, Lake Villa, and Lindenhurst.

Both Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Daniel and Stephanie bring years of clinical experience to every session, working with individuals age 12 and up, couples, and families. Clients can reach the office directly at (224) 501-0479 to schedule an appointment or ask questions about getting started. Whether you're looking for individual therapy, couples counseling, or supervision as a fellow clinician, this Grayslake practice offers a steady, licensed presence for the whole community.
