Jana Ross, Therapist

You deserve to feel present in your life.

Individual Therapy, Supervision & Consultation

Disordered Eating Relationships Anxiety

Boston & virtual across Massachusetts

Let’s be honest:

If your mind is always racing with thoughts about your body, food, what you said, or what people might think of you, it’s probably hard to get the most of your life. Life isn’t feeling sustainable and you wonder if you can ever slow down.

Maybe you’re…

Feeling trapped by diet culture, food noise, or exercise rules

Taking care of everyone but yourself; saying “no” feels impossible

Wondering if your relationships could feel better

Spiraling about what your peers think about you

Feeling like perfectionism gets in the way of trying new things

I help over-thinkers, people-pleasers and perfectionists feel more present in their lives. I specialize in challenges with disordered eating, relationships, and anxiety.

You’re sick of constantly thinking about your body, what you ate today, your workout, your last call with that tough family member, whether that new coworker actually likes you, if you’ll ever find the right partner…the list is never-ending. I can help.

I work with adults of all genders to slow down, be kinder to themselves, and make choices that get them closer to their goals.

I also offer clinical supervision and consultation for healthcare professionals looking for guidance on eating disorders, over-exercise, and body image.

I’m Jana (she/her)

Here’s how I can help:

  • Whether you have an eating disorder or wonder whether you might have a “thing” with food, I can support you in having a better relationship with food, your body and exercise. We’ll work on breaking free from diet culture to practice more self-compassion, intuitive eating, and joyful movement.

  • Do you feel like your brain never turns off? You leave a friend’s house and wonder if you said the right thing, you panic when your boss texts you to talk, or you spiral about whether you’re doing “enough” to get where you want to go. We’ll work on slowing down, quieting the inner critic and trusting yourself.

  • "Jana is genuine, thoughtful, and a deep thinker who cares so much for her clients. I had the pleasure of working alongside her for 5 years at a higher level of care and learned so much from her. My favorite part of that time was seeing her connect with her clients in an authentic way, always putting their needs ahead of the organization's. Anyone who works with Jana is in the best of hands! I cannot recommend her enough. You will be truly and deeply seen."
