Marina Ramirez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Marina!

Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed with life's challenges and adversities? Maybe you just need guidance and help to alleviate your day. I would like to be that person to help you get through your day and help you start a journey of awareness, growth, and strength.

My focus

My background includes serving clients of an array of ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship problems.

My approach

I work with an array of therapeutic approaches that best fit the client's needs and wants. The most common ones that I have used are CBT, Gestalt, SFT, and Narrative.

My communication style

I provide services in a relaxed and safe environment, where I use humor and appropriate self-disclosure to meet the client where they are at.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always enjoyed helping people when experiencing stress or adversities. I was in the teaching field for many years and enjoyed helping parents with their children's behaviors and issues. I enjoy helping people explore and identify their strengths and qualities to help them see themselves in a positive manner.

My goals for you

Goal setting is identified when the client discloses how they want to be helped or what brings them in for therapy.

Our first session

The first session will include building rapport, identifying the presenting issue, negotiating a goal, and identifying their strengths and qualities.
