ABOUT IVY BROOKE GROSS • LICSW, LCSW
If you're tired of overthinking every decision and trying to get it all 'right,' you're in the right place. Let's trade the burnout for something real.
You don't need another space where you have to perform or hold it all together. Here, we look at the old patterns keeping you stuck, drop the perfectionism, and build a life that actually aligns with your values.
If you are exhausted from second-guessing your decisions, managing high-functioning anxiety, and carrying the silent weight of people-pleasing, you're in the right place. We work together to untangle those loops so you can finally trust yourself again.
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: legal system, community health, 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 & ERP to confront triggers safely, break the obsession-compulsion cycle 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.
