Yesenia Ramirez was a schoolteacher for 15 years before becoming a clinician. As a professional clinical counselor, I am a practical, interactive, solution-focused counselor. My approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help patients resolve current problems and change long-standing behavioral patterns. With great sensitivity and understanding, I help individuals and families find solutions to a wide range of life challenges. I work with each patient to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

As a therapist, I would aim to create a welcoming and safe environment for clients in their first session. The initial meeting typically focuses on: Introductions and building rapport Discussing confidentiality and therapy policies Gathering background information and history Exploring the client's reasons for seeking therapy Identifying goals and expectations for treatment Answering any questions the client may have I'd emphasize that the first session is about getting to know each other and determining if we're a good fit. There's no pressure to delve deeply into difficult topics right away. I'd encourage clients to share what feels comfortable and let them know they can take things at their own pace. By the end of the session, we'd aim to have a general direction for future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have been teacher and a school counselor for many years, and I have dealt with an array of issues as a teacher, a parent and a therapist.
