About me
My name is Michelle, and I am a dedicated clinician committed to meeting the needs of youth in the Boise Metropolitan area and around Idaho. I am passionate about providing evidence-based treatment for teens. As a mother of four, I understand many children’s/adolescents’ difficulties and milestones.
I received my first Bachelor of Arts in German Language and Literature from the University of Oregon. I have experienced many career changes, including 4 years of service in the Navy as a Machinist Mate (part of naval engineering). I made it to the rank of Petty Officer 3rd class. I received my second Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Idaho. I completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling.
I specialize in the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). However, I integrate various therapeutic modalities when applicable. I have mainly worked with teens and young adults with difficulties ranging from depression, anxiety, body image issues, life transitions, and suicidality. I am also an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Ross. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Wonderful therapist. She is great with teenagers and has such a calm demeanor and is very professional. I love her responsiveness as a parent and willingness to listen and help.
