Getting to know Maria Ramirez
Hi there, I'm Maria!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master�s in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I am a client-centered therapist who utilizes an array of modalities to help you get to where you want to be. I believe that each individual is the expert in their own life and has the potential to achieve their desired goals so they can feel satisfied, emotionally stable, and balanced. I meet people where they are at and work progressively toward achieving the changes they want to see. I work with individuals to create a �toolbox� of coping skills that they can utilize on a day-to-day basis.
My approach:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Client-centered Therapy
- Strength-Based Approach
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
My focus:
I have thirteen years of experience working in various community and mental health settings. I have worked with people from a range of ages, backgrounds, phases of life, and challenges, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. I am fluent in both English and Spanish.
My communication style:
When communicating with a client, I provide a non-judgmental space where I am empathetic and offer unconditional positive regard to help process feelings and life stressors. I help individuals identify their already existing strengths so they can utilize them on their journey.
My goals for you:
After the first session, we will set goals that are important to you. We will work collaboratively to create these goals and discuss tools and strategies that will help you meet them. These goals are important for the progress of treatment; however, I ensure that throughout our sessions, flexibility is offered�creating space not only to address these goals but also to process and explore other needs that might come up in your life.
