Johanna Gross
Licensed Master Social Worker
I believe that God made the human mind to be incredibly resilient. Although we live in a world that is filled with horrific brokenness, there is redemption and healing that can be had.
While ultimate restoration comes through Christ alone, I believe He uses therapy as an outlet to experience His healing and redemption.
I hope to provide my clients with room to therapeutically process the hardships they have lived and are walking through, skills to restructure thoughts and experience personal growth, as well as a place to rebuild broken relationships – especially relationships within families.
I look forward to helping my clients experience mental and emotional wellness so that both their personal lives and relationships with others can thrive.
