In your journey to empowerment and better mental health I work to provide a safe environment, unconditional positive regard, and help cultivate the change you wish to achieve. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who have ADHD. Therapy can be an outlet in which you talk about what you want to, express true feelings about something, and the impact it has had on not only your everyday life but also your mental health. I am here to be part of a support system for you during this time. I also help women who have ADHD as they have often been overlooked and misunderstood.

I work with couples and families specializing in serving Asian/BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and neurodivergent communities. Meaningful relationships are integral to a fulfilling life, yet often our models for healthy relationships are limited. I support loved ones in finding new ways of moving through conflict, leading to deeper understanding and intimacy. We will identify and bring curiosity to underlying patterns and communication styles. Change isn't easy—it takes practice and patience. We will try on a new way of being with each other, honoring and holding space for all of our complexities.

Many people find themselves repeating familiar patterns in relationships without fully understanding why — or why they’re so hard to change. Relationships can be meaningful and sustaining, but also confusing, painful, or exhausting, especially when old ways of relating keep resurfacing despite sincere effort.

Brittany M. Ramirez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who has been practicing since 2013. Brittany helps people figure this “thing” out we call life.

With over 20 years of experience as a clinician, I have worked with diverse clients on issues like life transitions, depression, and grief/loss. Diversity has been central to my practice, especially living in California and being a provider of color. Life transitions can feel overwhelming, and I particularly enjoy helping with postpartum challenges (whether it’s a first or subsequent pregnancy, with or without previous loss) and grief/loss. For anxiety and depression, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to support clients effectively.

You look like you have it together, but something feels off.
Maybe your relationship with food feels chaotic. Maybe alcohol has become your way to take the edge off. Maybe you swing between being “in control” and completely out of it.
From the outside, no one would guess how much you're managing.
Inside, it’s exhausting.
You might be:
constantly thinking about food, your body, or how you look
using alcohol (or other substances) to cope, unwind, or escape
stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break, even when you try
high-achieving, driven, and used to pushing through… but this feels different

Are you tired of feeling anxious, fearful & overwhelmed? Are you tired of your negative thoughts & patterns blocking you from accomplishing your daily goals, big or small? You feel stuck because your mind continues to tap into old stories that are creating self-doubt in who you want to be, what you want to do & what you want to have in your life. You’re tired of trying to figure it out alone & getting the same results. You finally want accountability, to learn how to decrease stress & to learn how to reverse engineer your thinking so that you can align with the women & mom you want to be & pursue what really excites you in life.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
