Hello, my name is David Ramey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in providing mental health support, counseling, and guidance to individuals, families, and communities. With a strong foundation in clinical training and a passion for helping others, I work to empower clients through evidence-based practices, empathy, and personalized care. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions.
In our first session together, we will start with introductions then get into the specific challenges you are facing. We will then discuss a plan for us to work through in follow up sessions.
Ability to make people feel comfortable in a non-judgmental manner.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to take an active role in their own healing journey. My clients are eager to overcome life challenges, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past fifteen years. It has helped numerous clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
I have been utilizing the person-centered method in practice for fifteen years. Active listening is key. This method is founded on the idea that the client knows best. We will form a therapeutic alliance in a judgement free space where I will act as a sounding board to help you understand your own thought sand feelings better.
I spent 10 years working with clients through faith-based organizations. I understand the importance of faith and how faith can influence values and beliefs in everyday life. That experience has taught me to understand how to navigate concerns of everyday life from one's own personal faith perspective.
Working through attachment issues and fostering emotional connection, especially in relationships.
