About Me
Therapy Services for People in San Jose, CA and Online Across California

Ellen Ross, PsyD of True North Psychology is committed to providing compassion, acceptance, and care for people struggling with their emotional well being. Much more than a therapist, I’m a compassionate guide as you venture through life’s peaks and valleys.
Through compassionate therapy, I help people go from feeling overwhelmed trying to juggle it all to getting relief from anxiety and depression.
It is my belief that you and your loved ones deserve care and one person’s healing can positively impact their family, community, and the world.
My goal is to help you so you can handle the ups and downs in life. From being stuck in constant anxiety to feeling numb and tired, True North can help you get to feeling like your real self again after a long period of struggling to find a solution that works.


Committed To Helping – My Story

I believe there are endless ways to be in the world and I want you to find your unique, rich, and meaningful life. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of depression and I have struggled with my own identity and what that might mean for myself and the people I love.
Through grappling with those circumstances I got to find meaning, connection, and purpose in a life I have found to be beautiful.
I’m thankful that everyday I get to support people in discovering more about themselves, learning how to have new experiences, and growing on the path towards the life they want to have. Every time I get to sit with a client, my perspective is broadened and I learn something.
