Getting to know Dora Ramirez
Hi there, I'm Dora!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 7 years of experience working with individuals facing challenges such as trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, victimization, and immigration-related stress. I earned my Associate’s and Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Phoenix, which laid the foundation for my passion and skills in mental healthcare. My approach is warm and supportive, focusing on creating a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions.
My approach
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a Solution-Focused perspective to provide a balanced and goal-directed approach. CBT helps clients recognize and reshape negative thought patterns influencing emotions and behaviors. The Solution-Focused approach highlights strengths and resources, empowering clients to envision and achieve desired outcomes. By merging these methods, I foster insight and motivation, enabling clients to overcome challenges and maintain lasting positive change.
My focus
I work with adults and teens, drawing on extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also provide specialized support for victims of crime, survivors of abuse, and individuals navigating immigration-related challenges.
My communication style
My style is rooted in active listening, empathy, and a genuine desire to understand clients’ experiences. I use open-ended questions, reflection, and paraphrasing to encourage exploration while validating emotions to create a safe, nonjudgmental space. With a professional yet supportive demeanor, I strive to build trust and openness, empowering clients to share thoughts and feelings freely as they navigate growth and healing.
My journey to mental healthcare
My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep fascination with how thoughts, emotions, and personal histories influence everyday experiences.
