The Texas Online Counseling & Psychiatry Team

Dr. Colin A. Ross, MD

Prescribing Clinician

Bachelor of Medical Science, University of Alberta

Doctor of Medicine, University of Alberta

Texas Medical Doctor #J0652

Dr. Ross is a pioneer in trauma-informed care. He is an internationally renowned clinician, researcher, and author, recognized globally for his foundational work in the field of dissociation and complex trauma. As a psychiatrist who actually loves to counsel rather than just prescribe meds, he offers clients a rare blend of deep academic understanding and compassionate clinical expertise.

Before joining Get Out of Your Head Therapy, Dr. Ross spent decades actively exploring the root causes of mental distress, not just treating symptoms. What sets him apart is that his "previous experience" was researching, testing, and writing the models that modern trauma specialists now use. Dr. Ross brings an unparalleled depth of insight into the clinical room. He understands how trauma affects the structure of the self—a critical advantage when guiding clients toward true integration and recovery.

Dr. Ross's practice is grounded in his creation, Trauma Model Therapy (TMT). His goal is not simply symptom reduction, but psychological integration and the healing of relational wounds. He specializes in treating dissociation and complex trauma (C-PTSD). Dr. Ross excels at imparting complex scientific information to his clients in simple, understandable terms, ensuring that they feel empowered and knowledgeable about their own healing process. In essence, Dr. Ross’s life work is a testament to the belief that your pain is understandable, and with the right model, healing and integration are possible.

Beyond his clinical and research achievements, Dr. Ross is a person with broad interests and curiosity, always exploring complicated topics—from the genetics of schizophrenia to the dynamics of political reactions. This intellectual depth and openness mean he is uniquely adept at understanding the complexity of the human mind and experience.

Dr. Ross only offers psychotherapy sessions. He isn’t currently accepting clients who need medication management. If you are interested in medication management, please contact us to be put on the wait list.
