Recovery Systems Clinic

Julia Ross, M.A., M.F.T.

Julia Ross is the founder and Executive Director of The Recovery Systems Clinic. She is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the field of nutritional psychotherapy. Her work has identified the key physiological causes of depression and anxiety, overeating, and addiction. More importantly, she and the Clinic’s team of nutritionists, psychotherapists, and physicians have developed the innovative and effective solutions to these problems that are detailed on this site.

Julia began directing treatment programs for adults and adolescents in 1980 and has founded and directed seven programs in the San Francisco Bay Area since then. Her early work alerted her to the limitations of psychotherapy and drug therapy and led her to investigate research on nutritional therapy and to incorporate it into a new, holistic model of treatment.

Julia is the author of The Diet Cure and The Mood Cure, both based on The Recovery Systems Clinic’s successful programs. Her books have sold well in the US, UK, and Australia, and are being translated into Japanese and German. Julia has frequently been featured on radio, television and in print. She has presented at hundreds of professional conferences internationally and trains health professionals throughout the US in the nutritional therapy methods developed at the Clinic.
