Teletherapy for Monrovia, CA

Hi! My name is Victoria Ramirez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 14 years of experience in social work, especially with helping those impacted by cancer or other chronic illness and grief/loss. My approach to therapy is unique to each person that I meet with. I hope to be a part of your journey.

I am also able to help those dealing with anxiety and those going through sudden, unexpected changes in life.

Is your sink full of dirty dishes? What is your smallest dish? We all know that feeling of looking at a sink full of dirty dishes and just not knowing where to start so when things become distressing the best way to move forward is to “wash the smallest dish”. I know many of us can relate to this simple but profound metaphor, at times we become so overwhelmed by the nuances of life that gaining mastery in managing some of the “dishes” in our lives related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress can leave us feeling stuck or unsure of just what to do because all we can see is the sink full of dishes.

Each of us has had an experience that leads us to question ourselves: Who we are? What we are doing? What are our life goals? In therapy, we can explore certain challenges of life that may cause anxiety, depression, stress, or any other difficult feeling. "Like the lotus flower that is born out of mud, we must honor the darkest parts of ourselves and the most painful of our life's experiences, because they are what allow us to birth our most beautiful self" -Debbie Ford
