Jaresa D. Ross-Bey

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. As an educator and advocate, Jaresa also trains
future social workers and facilitates Mental Health First Aid to help dismantle stigma around mental illness and trauma
recovery.

Above all, Jaresa brings warmth, respect, and deep empathy to her work by walking alongside each client on their unique
healing journey.
