Ross Ritter, M.A., M.Div, NCC

Ross Ritter began counseling during his 12 years as a full-time pastor. He later shifted into professional counseling and received clinical training. Ross has experience helping people work through everything from social anxiety and depression to marital challenges, family conflict, men's sexual struggles, and loss; he has counseled adults, adolescents, married couples, and families. Ross now uses several counseling methods in his private practice, such as EMDR to help people work through past traumas and the Gottman marriage counseling approach to help couples. Ross also helps people with ADHD work through the challenges that neurodiversity can bring. He lives in Canton, GA, with his wife, three daughters, and a very spoiled dog. In his free time Ross enjoys playing the mandolin, reading fiction, and running 5ks with his girls.
