Blaize Ramirez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Blaize!

I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and psychosis. I also specialize in working with veterans and military families.

My focus

My style and approach are a good fit for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and those trying to navigate life through the lens of psychosis. I work with my clients to help them manage challenges and develop skills to promote wellness and mental stability.

My approach

My approach is client-centered and will vary based on client needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as these treatment modalities help me work with clients to identify patterns of thought and behavior.

My communication style

When my clients meet with me, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and listened to without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always had a passion for helping people. At a very young age, I began volunteering to serve the population of Skid Row in Los Angeles. That desire to serve and help others developed into military service and later evolved into a path in community mental health.

My goals for you

We will work collaboratively to identify the things you would like to work on during our time together. I aim to build a trusting relationship between us, and as this develops, we will narrow down your goals and track your progress along the way.

Our first session

In our first session, you'll share how you've been feeling lately and your current struggles. I'll ask questions to gain insight into those challenges. This session will focus on getting to know you and determining how to proceed in your therapy.
