ABOUT IVY BROOKE GROSS • LICSW, LCSW
Let’s build a connection that helps you grow.
Drawing on diverse clinical experience and a deeply human approach - I guide clients toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and alignment with their values.
My approach is honest, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you already have what it takes to feel balance - you just need the right space and tools to access it. I draw on evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you identify the patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck, then work with you to create real, sustainable change.
I'm here to listen deeply, challenge you when it's useful, and help you build the skills to navigate anxiety, strengthen relationships, and show up more fully in your life. Therapy with me is a partnership - one where honesty, humor, and genuine care create the space for transformation.
ABOUT ME
MEET IVY BROOKE GROSS • LICSW, LCSW
I’m a therapist who believes real healing happens when you feel genuinely seen, without judgment, pressure or the need to perform.
My work is grounded in compassion, emotional intelligence, and an understanding that people often carry far more than they share out loud.
I’ve spent my career working with people in a broad range of environments on the East Coast and now in LA: schools, community settings, families, individuals with complex histories, and clients moving through major life transitions.
What I learned is this: Most people are struggling because they’ve never been given the tools to help them cope with the challenges of life.
Therapy becomes a place where you can naturally rediscover yourself and feel safely supported throughout the process.
MY APPROACH
My style is warm, steady, and honest.
I’m not here to give you a script for how to feel. I’m here to help you understand yourself in a deeper way, to see the beliefs, patterns, and behaviors shaping your experience - so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
I use:
CBT & ACT to build practical tools and increase emotional flexibility
Relational + psychodynamic insight to understand the roots of your patterns
Coaching strategies to support real-world change
You’ll get a mix of compassion, curiosity, and grounded guidance.
