Jennifer Gross, PsyD

"I saw Jennifer some time back when I was about 15. Instead of reporting what she titled abuse, she made me feel ashamed of how I handled and felt what was going on. No reports were made. To the same parents who she determined to be abusive, she told them that if I was being too loud in the car (getting angry) to drop me off in south Everett in the middle of the summer when my phone was dead. A quote from her is “she’ll find her way home”. Not to mention, the area of Everett she instructed me to be left in, was one of the highest climbing areas of violent crimes in the city. Not that Everett itself is safe to begin with. Nor did any of my anger outbursts include any form of violence. I lived multiple towns over. Bear in mind a lot of the behaviors she deemed abusive from my parents, were things SHE instructed them to do. There was even a plan written and printed out of actions to take that she directed. She instructed my parents to punish me for my self harm issue instead of helping to support me. By punish, I include taking away comfort belongings, and making me feel iced out. There were many more painful and scary things going on at home that she did not give me a moment to tell her about, nor did I feel safe to. I felt I would have been belittled, and this was based off of the cold, sarcastic, and snide responses I had already received for other issues. The police eventually denied making stops to our home due to the frequency of the calls that were made based around the guidelines of why to call made by Jennifer. Jennifer was part of my med management, where she was also made aware of the signs to take me off a medication called Haloperidol, but was not part of me being taken off the medication when I was showing signs to everyone physical damage to my body was being done. To this day, I still have a tremor in my hands and voice from that particular medication. She was apart of yet another mishap with my med management. My whole team (clearly Jennifer included) had a plan written up for me of incredibly frequent use of benzodiazepines that plunged me into an early substance abuse problem. I understand she was not my psychiatrist, but she was apart of my team, making suggestions and agreements, all while studying med management. I could go on. I was a child going through abuse, and instead finding a way to save me from it, she gave my parents different things to take away from me for not handling the abuse properly. She instructed my parents to call the police as a punishment and I was continuously taken to the ER by police when I did not hurt Anyone or myself. These constant trips to the Er greatly effected my ability to graduate high school. Instead of seeing me as a child trying to cope with abuse at home, she just made my life harder by punishing me for it. She talked down to me and made me feel so small and stupid. She did not validate my feelings, she made me feel embarrassed about them. Seeing Jennifer did so much damage and trauma, I’m still recovering from events that took place under her care. I did not have one session that I didn’t walk away from feeling more hopeless than before.Please do not take your children to this woman. She does not have their best interests at heart. Edit- I have been made aware that after posting my review, Jennifer emailed my father trying to get my review taken down, as well called my mother. My mother did not answer the phone call, but still has Jennifer’s number in her contacts. I don’t know why she would think that would never be relayed to me, and why that also wouldn’t be added to the review about her care quality."

"I have been working with Jennifer for years. She is an expert in CBT, DBT, and various other modalities. She is kind, smart, funny, and responsive. I'd recommend her to anyone."

"Dr. Jennifer Gross is great at what she does — she’s highly knowledgeable, compassionate and was welcoming of my various questions/concerns. I appreciated her relaxed yet professional approach to working with clients and hope I have the opportunity to see her again in the future!"

"Jennifer has been my therapist for several years now. She has helped me navigate some very challenging times in my life, and provided me the tools to help manage my anxiety. She’s compassionate, honest, yet straightforward and direct. I never feel judged by her, only supported. Jennifer has a way of validating what you are going through while also offering a realistic and helpful approach. I saw a couple of different therapists prior to her, and never clicked with any of them. I’m so glad I found Jennifer and I highly recommend her to others."
