Ross L. Kellogg

When someone finally decides to ask for help — after weeks of second-guessing, of white-knuckling through anxiety or a relationship in crisis — Ross Kellogg is the kind of therapist they find themselves hoping is on the other end. A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in La Jolla, Ross works with individuals and couples who are carrying things that have quietly gotten too heavy: patterns of codependency, the aftermath of emotional or narcissistic abuse, attachment wounds, eating and body image struggles, unresolved anger, and the particular strain of watching a relationship lose its footing.

He also works with people whose compulsive behaviors have started running the show — including the pull of screens and devices that can quietly crowd out the focused, present-tense attention that a real life requires. His couples work draws on the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy; his individual work integrates Internal Family Systems and Somatic approaches. Career transitions, burnout, and life-direction questions are equally at home in his practice.

Ross brings a holistic, goal-oriented frame to sessions that are compassionate without being directionless. He offers online appointments and a free initial consultation — reachable by email or phone, typically the same day.
