My name is Deanna Ramirez and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I want you to know that I see you. I hear you. I help people grow through the uneasy transitions, the uncomfortable feelings, and the challenging emotional storms that we go through as we journey through life. I work with, teens, adults, couples and teams in many areas but my specialty is in navigating issues with identity, dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and emotional regulation, so they feel more connected and whole.

 

One of our greatest struggles is our ability, or lack thereof, to get along. I struggled with avoiding conflict and having a"faking til I make it" philosophy for years and I realized I was holding on to past grievances, ignoring my emotions, abandoning myself and being generally unpleasant where I worked, with what I was doing in life, in my relationships, and more importantly with myself.

 

COVID happened and I decided to go back to school to get a Master's Degree in Education for Mental Health Counseling. Three years of training as a therapist will teach you how to deal with all of your unresolved issues. Now, I want to help you navigate your unresolved issues and connect better with your self and others. 

 

I help people through some tough life transitions as well as understand the emotions that come with them. I believe we all deserve to feel fulfilled and satisfied with our lives and I think the way to do that is through focusing on you as a "whole," leveraging your strengths while processing pain, rather than just on achieving goals or working on problems.

 

You can function better with your self and with others and feel more whole as you walk through life even at work. It is not always pretty, most often uncomfortable, and always curious.
