Ramir's Counseling Center of Hope provides individual counseling services to adults (18+ years of age) through Telehealth/Virtual Services. I have experience working in an inpatient and outpatient setting, where I served clients diagnosed with mood disorders, behavioral disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, substance abuse, Intellectual and developmental disabilities, and psychotic disorders. I also have experience working with individuals experiencing trauma, grief, life transitions, stress related disorders and suicidal/homicidal behavior.
These are specialties available through Ramir's Counseling Center of Hope, PLLC: Grief, Trauma, and Life Transitions. I am also equipped to work with those experiencing anxiety, depression and other symptoms/diagnosis.
I recognize that one approach will not work for every person I come in contact with, therefore, I utilize skills from different treatment approaches in order to successfully serve each individual. Listed below are therapeutic approaches that I may utilize while in session: CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Client Centered and Solution-Focused Therapy
