About

Jae L. Ross, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and an Assistant Professor of Psychology in Clinical Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.

He works with people coping with the psychological and emotional impact of cancer, with particular attention to identity, roles, uncertainty, and meaning in the context of serious illness.

His clinical work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including acceptance-based and meaning-centered therapies.

Prior to his work at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, he served as a Senior Staff Psychologist at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, where he was embedded within Internal Medicine, Supportive and Palliative Care, and Infectious Diseases. He also contributed to national training initiatives through the American Psychological Association’s HIV Office for Psychology Education and served on the Board of Directors of L.A. Shanti, a longstanding community-based HIV/AIDS organization in Los Angeles.

Alongside his clinical work, his writing reflects the same focus on how people make sense of illness from the inside. He is the author of Living Alongside Cancer, a reflective blog centered on the inner psychological experience of illness. His writing draws from clinical experience and offers language for aspects of that experience that are often difficult to articulate.

He works with individuals and families receiving care through Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
