About

Kalee is a licensed clinical psychologist at UCEBT. Kalee values providing a holistic approach because every individual is uniquely influenced by various factors throughout life. She specialized in working with children and teens; however, she absolutely enjoys, and has experience, seeing all ages across the lifespan.

She has experience providing evidenced-based individual, family, and group intervention through evidence-based modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT), for individuals struggling with anxiety and depression.

She also has several years of experience helping adolescents and adults build a life worth living with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also is a Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) certified therapist, an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems.

Kalee conducts diagnostic and comprehensive psychological evaluations for individuals across the lifespan with a wide range of presenting concerns, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning problems, mood and anxiety, personality, and psychosis and severe mental illness.

During Kalee’s time off, she enjoys being active (working out, hiking, playing soccer, camping, skiing), baking and decorating delicious desserts to share, playing with her dogs, and watching shows with a bowl of popcorn. She also values spending time with her husband, family, and friends.

Dr. Gross is PsyPact approved and can provide telehealth services in over 40 states. She also sees clients in-person at our Utah location.
