Sky Lea Ross

Born and raised in the poorer parts of Northern Pasadena, California, Dr. Sky Lea Ross had to navigate resources available to her at a very young age. Having a family history of untreated, chronic mental & physical illnesses as well as disabilities, she was exposed to abuse and neglect, causing her to be removed from her home and placed into foster care at the age of 16.

Sky did not see this as a negative experience, but rather, considered it a miracle. She was brought into a safe home and introduced to a loving & supportive foster mother. It opened more doors for her, allowing her to pursue higher education. She attended UCLA, majoring in Gender Studies, minoring in Music History, graduating class of 2015. Afterwards, she went on to earn her Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College, class of 2018.

Las year, Dr. Sky earned her her doctorate of psychology (Psy.D.) in Marriage & Family Therapy from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Downtown Los Angeles campus.

Fiercely passionate, Dr. Sky has dedicated her life to fighting for social justice/human rights & providing empathic therapy as well as educating others on the importance/necessity of mental health.

Being an avid writer ever since she was a little girl, Dr. Sky wishes to share her poems, lyrics, novels, short stories, articles, and autobiography with the world to inspire others as well as prove that one can heal, grow, and learn from their traumas and pain.
