Jaresa D. Ross-Bey, LSCSW, LCSW, is a trauma-informed therapist with nearly three decades of experience supporting adults, children, and families on their path to healing. With advanced training in social work and play therapy, Jaresa’s practice is grounded in compassion, cultural humility, and an unwavering belief in each person’s ability to overcome adversity. Jaresa specializes in working with women who have experienced trauma, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and emotional abuse. She understands the complex layers of healing and creates a safe, affirming space where clients can reclaim their voices, rebuild trust in themselves, and reconnect with their inner strength. Her practice is rooted in the four pillars of self-care wellness, self-love, self-confidence, and self-esteem. Jaresa integrates these pillars with trauma-informed principles by honoring each client’s pace, prioritizing emotional and physical safety, and fostering empowerment throughout the therapeutic process. She helps clients recognize their inherent strengths, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate practices that nurture both mind and body. In addition to private practice, Jaresa has extensive experience providing crisis intervention, risk assessment, and stabilization services in hospital settings and community mental health. She has worked with survivors of chronic trauma, dual diagnoses, and those navigating systemic barriers to care.
