Biography
My name is Dr. Justen Gross, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina. I am married to my beautiful spouse, Joy, and have a wonderful son named Tristen Gross and two daughters named Willow and Hattie. Our family attends Christ Community Church in Wilmington, North Carolina, as well as volunteer our time and resources both at our church and in the community.
In my spare time, I enjoy surfing, skateboarding, camping – basically any/all outdoor activities. I currently work full-time at Liberty University. I have worked in both the public and private sectors, as well as in for/non-profit companies, in all aspects of an individual’s life. As a social worker, I have had the opportunity to provide individual/group therapy from birth to death, foster care, supportive services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and medical social work within acute/psychiatric settings. I have a great passion for working with people, teaching others, and supporting God’s mission through actions and words.
I look forward to learning with each and every student!
