Carolyn Coker Ross, MD, MPH, CEDS (www.carolynrossmd.com) is an African American author, speaker, expert the treatment of eating disorders, trauma and addictions and is board certified in Preventive Medicine and in Addiction Medicine. Dr. Ross presented a TEDxPleasantGrove talk on “Historical and Intergenerational Trauma in January 2020. She is the author of 3 books on eating disorders, the most recent is “The Food Addiction Recovery Workbook.” She is a contributing author to : “Treating Black Women with Eating Disorders: A Clinician’s Guide.” She is co-founder of the Institute for Antiracism and Equity (antiracismandequity.com).
I am board certified in Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine (by exam) and completed a two year fellowship in Dr. Andrew Weil's Program in Integrative Medicine. I am the former medical director of the eating disorders program at Sierra Tucson.
I believe in the self-healing capacity of the body, mind and spirit. If you have struggled with an eating disorder, addictions, depression or anxiety issues, you may benefit from my unique approach. Trauma is the root cause of many of the disorders I treat and addressing trauma is important in healing at the deepest level possible.
