ABOUT RMH COUNSELING
Our Expertise
Hi, there! My name is Maria “Natalia’“ Ramirez. I have been working in the mental health field for more than 20 years. As someone that was a client themselves before becoming a psychotherapist, I understand how difficult and daunting it is when you first meet a stranger you’re supposed to tell your issues and most private problems to. That is why my first goal when we meet is to make you feel you’re in a safe place, and I show you my style to see if we will be a good fit. The biggest predictor of effective treatment is the rapport that is established between client and therapist , therefore it is important that you feel comfortable and safe during your sessions.
Our Mission
My mission is to provide high-quality counseling services to individuals, teens, couples, and families who are experiencing emotional difficulties. I believe in taking a client-centered approach to counseling, where we work collaboratively with our clients to identify their goals and develop a personalized plan for treatment.
Our Approach
Our approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where our clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings, and where they can develop the skills and tools they need to thrive.
With more than 20 years of experience, I am able to collaboratively choose with each client what is the best approach, as everybody has different needs and personalities that will require different treatment approaches.
I rely heavily on cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, client centered, and psychodynamic theory at the beginning of my work with a client. I later will add other treatment modalities as needed. I am trained in EMDR therapy and believe that people can benefit from this intensive therapeutic approach.
