Hello. My name is Marina Ramirez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been a therapist for 8 years. Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed with life's challenges and adversities? Maybe you just need guidance and help to alleviate your day? I would like to be that person to help you get through your day and help you start a journey of awareness, growth and strength.
The first session will include building rapport, identifying the presenting problem, negotiating a goal and identifying their strengths and qualities.
I provide services in a relaxed and safe manner where I utilize humor and appropriate self-disclosure to meet the client where they are at. I enjoy helping people develop a new narrative about themselves where they explore and identify their strengths and qualities to help see themselves in a positive manner and create new chapter in their life.
My background includes serving clients of an array of ages, genders and backgrounds. My experience includes working with clients who experience Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions and Relationship Problems.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT in my practice for many years now. This technique has helped many of my clients manage thought problems by changing the way they think, feel and behave. This technique helps with depression and anxiety by challenging distorted thoughts. Utilizing this technique has helped many of my clients reduce depressive and anxiety symptoms and has helped them live a less stressed life.
