Hello, My name is Moises Ramy. I am a licensed mental health therapist, a Qualified Supervisor in the State of Florida, and a doctor of psychology. I graduated as a Doctor of Clinical Psychology from Carlos Albizu University, Miami Campus and completed my doctoral internship at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Lexington, Kentucky. At that time, the mission of FMC was a federal prison/hospital for incarcerated females with medical and psychological conditions. During my doctoral internship, I completed three clinical rotations. Two at FMC, in the Crisis Wing and in the General Population Unit and an elective rotation at Ridge Behavioral Health System (formerly Charter Ridge Hospital of Lexington), Lexington, Kentucky, assessing suicidality of adolescents in crisis from the Lexington area and the Appalachians. My clinical spectrum covers diverse females and males, LGBTQ members, homeless veterans, and young college students experiencing moderate to severe adjustment problems as well as older adult issues. During these clinical years, I have acquired vast experience helping clients from all walks of life struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal conflicts, bipolar disorder, gender and sexual identity issues, abuse and trauma, and substance abuse. I have offered most of my clinical services in different prisons and rehabilitation centers, private and community mental health hospitals, and veteran homeless organizations. My exposure and experience working with these populations have extraordinarily helped me become a more empathetic, non-judgmental and non-directive clinician. My whole idea about psychotherapy is helping clients to help themselves so that they work on solutions, develop the strength to cope with their everyday challenges and regain competence and control of their lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I help my clients manage their mental health issues and avoid crises. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back on track. I'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate critical thinking, self-awareness, assertiveness, cognitive approaches, and relaxation techniques to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and a sense of emotional control. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming difficulties, relationship issues or bouts of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with empathy and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
During our sessions, I offer a non-confrontational, non-judgmental approach to your issues. I help you explore the cause of and possible solutions to your challenges. My idea about life challenges is that we can always find the solution to our problems in the seeds of the problems themselves. This means that I will never give the answers but you will be empowered to find them by yourself and that way, you will never forget how you got there.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My therapeutic strengths are cognitive-behavioral and client-centered approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy based on the biopsychosocial spectrum. I also have extensive experience working with women, young adults and geriatric persons, panic disorder, anxiety and depression, co-dependency, domestic violence and trauma, drug and alcohol addiction and its comorbidity with mental health conditions, communication problems, abandonment, and mood disorders.
