Welcome to Essence Psychological Health Services, PLLC! We are proud to introduce Dr. Jasmine Ross (formerly known as Burton), our esteemed founder and a compassionate licensed psychologist dedicated to fostering mental health and wellness in the greater Houston area.

Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, Dr. Ross brings the energy and inclusivity of her urban roots to her practice. Her therapeutic approach is enriched by her deep appreciation for multicultural dynamics and feminist perspectives, which guide her in offering care that is both culturally competent and gender sensitive.

Dr. Ross is deeply committed to supporting individuals on their transformative journeys toward mental well-being. With a wealth of experience serving historically underserved communities—including women, ethnic and racial minorities, young people, individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses, and those within the criminal justice system—she has honed her expertise in addressing a broad spectrum of challenges. Her clients benefit from her specialization in areas such as adjustment and transitional issues, mood and psychotic disorders, relational difficulties, and the complex nuances of trauma and abuse, with a particular emphasis on women's mental health.
