Ana Ramirez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ana!

I am passionate about empowering clients and look forward to working with clients who are looking to better understand themselves and unlock their full potential. My clinical experience allows me to work with clients of all ages and from all walks of life.

My focus

I have worked with clients throughout their whole life span. I work with children, parents, and adults. I specialize in helping clients dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, stress, low self-confidence, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, and peer/social interaction issues.

My approach

I tailor therapy to individual needs using an eclectic assortment of approaches and strategies to reach treatment goals. Common theoretical approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused therapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).

My communication style

I strive to create a safe space, listen to my clients reflectively, without judgment, and engage honestly. I hope to be able to facilitate therapeutic conversations that bring about meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

What drove me to become a therapist is the passion that I have to empower others, connect to others, and support them in improving their relationships and their lives.

My goals for you

Goal-setting will be a collaborative process to help focus treatment and enhance progress. I want to ensure that you have a voice and focus on working on what matters most to you. I, of course, will provide my clinical recommendations and guidance to help you progress into a more rewarding life.

Our first session

During the first session, I will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will be asking questions in order to gather information and history, and to support you in creating a treatment plan. You can expect from me a genuine interest in your experience. I am open to answering any questions you may have.
