Getting to know Ivana Ross
Ivana Ross is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York who has devoted her career to helping patients work through fears, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, toxic relationships, depression, and anger. She specializes in Marriage and Family Therapy, couples counseling, personality disorders, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, anger management, and ketamine-assisted therapy.
Ivana earned her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University and completed her residency at Queens Long Island Community Services. In addition to her license, she is a clinical fellow of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and a certified clinical hypnotherapist, expanding her expertise to optimize the therapeutic services she provides. By combining various therapeutic modalities, Ivana carefully assesses each patient’s needs and incorporates her expertise, passion, and empathy into her therapeutic style. Recognizing that we are all unique, she tailors sessions to each individual’s needs.
Finding the right therapist can be a lengthy and challenging process. Ivana’s ability to listen deeply to the core of your challenges, understand the issues to be addressed, and clarify your goals will make your therapeutic journey a truly enlightening experience.
Beyond her clinical practice, Ivana Ross is the creator of Ressista, a mental health and social app that promotes mental wellness through shared life experiences. Ressista offers a safe space where users can meet, chat, vent, and share experiences across various life areas. The app provides an effective platform to improve overall mental health and features inspirational life quotes from a mental health counselor. Ivana is also frequently invited as a guest speaker on various panels, most recently at the American Academy of Psychotherapists, where she spoke on assessing repressed memories through EMDR.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The biggest challenge for first-time patients is overcoming the feelings of discomfort and hesitation in order to open up to a new person and talk about their most intimate thoughts, feelings and behaviors, As a provider, I naturally connect with people in a professional therapy setting where they can expect those feelings to dissipate very early on in our work together.
I am a psychoanalyst by a preferred modality of treatment, tapping into the subconscious. I offer ketamine assisted therapy, EMDR and hypnosis. I am a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as a trained hypnotist.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In therapy, I create a safe, judgement -free environment where patients can share their life stories and express their feelings and emotions in an uncensored way. I provide a non-prescriptive therapeutic setting, where patients can brainstorm their ideas on how to move forward in their life journey. My therapeutic style is personalized, collaborative, eclectic and solution focused oriented.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
We provide invoices and super bills for most insurances. Ketamine assisted therapy is included as out of pocket expense.

I’ve been working with Ivana for over five years, first through grief counseling and later focusing on family trauma, depression, and anxiety. I’d been in and out of therapy for most of my adult life, but this is by far the longest and most meaningful therapeutic relationship I’ve had. Ivana has a way of making me feel completely safe while still holding me accountable and helping me do the work.
Recently, I began ketamine treatment with her—a step I had wanted to take for some time—and it’s already made a noticeable difference. After just a few sessions, I’ve felt a real shift in my anxiety and have experienced breakthroughs that continue to impact me positively weeks later. Ivana’s diligence and personalized approach to this treatment have allowed me to finally start letting go of the weight I’ve carried for so long.
I can’t recommend working with Ivana enough, especially If you’re considering ketamine therapy. The care, expertise, and support she provides make all the difference.

Ivana has really helped us to improve our relationship. She allows us to both feel seen and heard in a safe space and is great at helping us navigate tough conversations. She gives us concrete tools we can use for better communication and navigating conflict. I’m not sure if we have less conflict but we are learning how to better navigate it so it doesn’t go on for days. I feel like every relationship could benefit from learning these skills.

I absolutely love Janica, my therapist who I was connected with through Ivana's office. Our sessions are always so impactful, and I feel a sense of progress each week after speaking with her. Janica feels like a good friend while also feeling like a professional. Can't speak highly enough!
Less than 1 year agoShannon B.Verified patientVideo visit
We got paired with Janica for couples, she is a wonderful therapist and human. She is an empathetic listener, and she also gives really helpful thought exercises and insights. In fact I learned a lot of insights about myself and my relationship from working with her in just 2 months, same with my partner. Our relationship has improved over this period. Many thanks to her for working with us

A session with Ivana is like a session with a dear and trusted friend who listens intently and cares deeply. I always walk away from our sessions in a much better place than I was when we began, ready to do the work, face another day, and anticipate the next session. I can’t recommend Ivana enough if you’re struggling and in need of help.
May 5, 2025Andy C.Verified patientVideo visit
Ivana’s practice has excellent service. The onboarding process was very quick and easy, and the office was responsive to my needs. The sessions are very personable. I feel safe and comfortable sharing my worries and concerns every session. And I always leave with a question or thought to think about for the next meet.
Highly recommend!
I highly recommend.

I was matched with Janica from Ivana’s office, and the past sessions has all been very helpful. She has been there to empathize with me, to give me insights, and suggestions to how I can improve on my wellbeing. I’ve done around 9 sessions so far and it has been life changing. Only regret is not starting any time sooner.
September 21, 2024Bom L.Verified patientVideo visit
Been seeing her for 2 months. I wasn’t sure at first since this was my first ever therapy session. Now I look forward to our weekly sessions. :)
September 18, 2024Adam L.Verified patientVideo visit
I have had an amazing experience with Ivana’s office, I’m currently meeting with Janica who works with Ivana’s office and she has been an absolute delight to meet with. She is very easy to talk to and her listening skills are excellent. She gets to the root of my problems and guides me through the process of dealing with them properly. This was my first experience dealing with a therapist and honestly Janica has made me feel so comfortable and confident through this new experience for me. I would highly recommend ivana’s office.
More than 1 year agoIsabella K.Verified patientVideo visit
Ivana Ross was actually very personable over the phone, my only issue which is a very big issue especially with this being my first attempt at therapy after already being on the fence is that I was waiting for my instructions to join the video appointment when come to find out Ivana didn’t know we were supposed to be meeting. This isn’t coming from a complaining perspective but more from a I just wanted a chance to disprove my preconceived thoughts of therapy. I feel it’s important to mention again that Ivana over the phone when I called the office sounded great to talk to, it was just a bit disorganized and from myself to others trying to navigate through their internal thoughts; that’s something that turned me away before I could even start. Side note: my first therapy session never happened
September 4, 2024DeAndre S.Verified patientVideo visit
Great experience, first time doing therapy online . I will continue to see this therapist . Highly recommend, had a mini breakthrough my first session.
August 22, 2024David S.Verified patientVideo visit
I did not like that I was bait and switched. Especially when I’m looking for a therapist during such a hard time. The therapist I was put with was nice. But it definitely made me feel weird, I was mentally preparing to speak and meet with Ivana the woman listed. The office should have made that clear before my appointment. I was so busy leading up to the visit I didn’t notice they mentioned a different name in the appt confirmation. Everything else had Ivana’s name. Not a cool move especially for mental health looking for mental health.

This therapist seemed great at first, but dropped me when I wanted to go with a monthly appointment rather than weekly. Not supportive of my needs, moreso her needs.

This was my first experience with therapy and I felt comfortable and safe! I’m looking forward to continuing this journey and wish I had done this sooner.

Ivana is an absolute pleasure to work with. It was only my first session but she seemed very attentive and was very clear with how she was going to help me. I look forward to future sessions with her.

Ivana is very knowledgeable and warm and friendly. Her approach makes me feel at ease and not judged at all. Love working with her so far!

She was great the app gave us some trouble with the connection but she found a way to still keep up with the appointment and also offered to makeup for the time lost due to the connection. She was really sweet and I’ll be keeping up with her.
