Hi, My name is Alma Ramirez LCSW, MSW, PEL, I am based in Illinois. I received my masters degrees in 2019 and have been working in the mental health field for 10 years with 5 years of therapy experience. I truly enjoy helping others feel listened to, accepted and coming up with solutions for life’s unpredictable difficulties. I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults and look forward to helping you navigate through what ever comes or has come your way!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will start with introductions and learn what it is that YOU would like to gain out of our treatment. We will discuss the creation of a treatment plan that will be tailored to your needs and the difficulties that you will choose to prioritize.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with multiple diagnosis and life situations I believe that my greatest strengths are in my patience, acceptance, flexibility honesty and empathy that I can offer to my clients. With a strengths and client centered approach I ensure that the focus is on you in order to ensure that every session is being beneficial and a learning and positive experience for the client.
