Kayla Ramirez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kayla!

I specialize in working with individuals across the lifespan—from children and families to adults, older adults, and those with special needs.

My focus

I have experience working with those who have anxiety, depression, trauma, challenges with family dynamics, and postpartum depression/anxiety. Those who are willing to explore and challenge themselves find the therapeutic process helpful. My goal is to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.

My approach

My approach to therapy is compassionate and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Motivational Interviewing to help clients overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals.

My communication style

If you're looking for a compassionate, relatable, and dedicated therapist, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. I find energy in the sun, the ocean, and the positive vibes that surround me to empower you to strengthen your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have had personal experiences with therapy since a young age that have helped me navigate my challenges. I come from a family that is passionate about education, helping others, and serving the community. This foundation led me to my philosophy: I believe everyone has a purpose, and that life is a journey to be enjoyed.

My goals for you

I work with you to address what your goals are and how we can work together to achieve them. I check in on homework and collaborate to identify what works for you. If an approach does not work, I will collaborate with you to find another one that could be helpful.

Our first session

Listening and validating your experiences are essential to our therapeutic relationship. I will ensure you are heard and provide a space for you to address your needs. I will also ask you questions to gain further insight and understanding of what brings you to therapy.
