Therapy in San Francisco

Hello there! My name is Liliana Ramos. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California (LMFT 122378). I help adults and couples who feel stuck in their lives or relationships. I work with you to identify the different parts of yourself and how you got to be the person you are today. Sometimes, we are going through life and find ourselves in a place where we wonder how we got here. You might be feeling overwhelmed, overworked, sleep-deprived, anxious, sad, irritable, and generally lost. You might even find yourself stuck in a relationship where you wonder where the two of you lost each other.

If you are coming to my website because you're anxious, depressed, grieving, or having a problem with relationships, I’ll work with you to look at your values, thoughts, feelings, behavior, and different parts. I like to work with you by integrating ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and psychodynamic perspectives. For a more intense look at your challenges, we can use EMDR or Brainspotting. I work with older adults, immigrants, veterans, and LGBTQ+ communities. I’ll work with you to determine your goal so that you can move forward in your life.

If you are a couple, I integrate the Couple’s Institute Developmental Model, the Gottman model, and EFT to help you with your communication and connection. I will talk to each of you individually and together. Why individually? I believe that sometimes when we’re having a difficult time connecting, you might want your own time to get your point of view out. During this time, I’ll listen to you so that I can better understand each of your points of view. Then we begin working as a team. I’m more directive when I’m working with couples. I might be compassionate and empathetic, but I’ll point out where you need to improve, help you practice better ways of communication, work as a team, and help you find ways where you can see each other again as lovers and friends. I’ll be your guide as you find your way back to each other. I also provide premarital counseling if you are preparing for marriage.

Who am I? Why should you trust me?‍ ‍

I’m an immigrant and a military veteran who got her bachelor’s degree while raising kids and serving in our military. My pronouns are she-her-ella. Then in 2018, I earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I got licensed in 2020. after gaining clinical hours working in community health organizations, providing support to adults, children, and their parents in schools and in the office. I have also worked at a group practice serving military veterans and their families. I have experience serving the LGBTQ+, immigrant, and military communities.

My deep connection with military veterans and immigrants sets my practice apart from others. Understanding your unique struggles allows me to offer empathetic and insightful guidance, fostering trust and understanding. If you're a veteran or immigrant, please know that you're entering a safe space where your experiences are understood, not judged, in my online therapy room.
