Hello there! My name is Juan Ramirez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in good ol' Orange County California. I've been practicing since 2016 and have been licensed for just about two years. Most of my experience has been in working in community mental health, where I got a chance to work with families and teens from a variety of backgrounds. I've also had the opportunities to work with couples and individuals who are going through various challenges in their lives. Whether we're dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply having a difficult time adjusting to new life changes, we all could use a little bit of help with getting ourselves "unstuck" sometimes. And that's exactly what I hope we can do for you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Words matter. Communication is key. We've all heard these statements multiple times in our lives. But what many of us have a hard time realizing is that these phrases don't just apply to our relationships with others. Sometimes the harshest words we hear come from within and it's the communication that we have with ourselves that could use a tune up. That's one of the many things that we would address in therapy during our time together. Particularly, because having a healthy relationship with ourselves allows us to have healthy relationships in our lives.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Look, we all know that we aren't all the same and, ideally, therapy should reflect that. That's why my approach to therapy is very eclectic, as I pull from multiple approaches to tailor the sessions to you. Are you a solution oriented person? Does family play a major role in who you are today? Have you been believing the negative thoughts you have about yourself? If so, there are multiple strategies that we could utilize to help you overcome the challenges that have made it difficult for you to be the best version of yourself. Let's see if we can help you get there!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

At the end of the day, I strongly believe that you, the client, are the expert of who you are. After all, who has spent more time being you than you have? The way I see it, you're driving the car and I'm riding shotgun. I'm just here to help you navigate various twists and turns on the road of life!
