Michael Gross

Michael’s counseling practice focuses on partnering with adolescents, adults, couples, and people in healthcare contexts. He supports clients navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationships, illness, loss, grief, burnout, trauma, moral injury, and identity formation.

Michael believes everyone experiences seasons of celebration, challenge, and growth. He provides a safe, private space to share stories, recognize pain, identify goals, and build plans for change. His role is to meet each client where they are and compassionately support their wellness journey.

A Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA #A16853) and National Certified Counselor (NCC #1571400), Michael holds a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina State University. His approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, and rooted in social justice and multicultural principles. He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy, along with psychoeducation to enhance communication, mindfulness, and resilience.

For over 25 years, Michael has provided spiritual and emotional support in healthcare settings as a Board-Certified Chaplain and ordained Christian minister.

Outside of counseling, he enjoys time with his wife, adult twin daughters, and their rescued greyhound, Charlotte. He likes reading, music, guitar, and volunteering with Family Promise.

Michael grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee with his parents and older brother. They have a fun family tradition of making special fudge for the holidays. His parents were both chemists, so their laboratory skills spilled over into baking.
