Liana Ramon, LPC
Hello! I'm Liana (she/her) and I am a licensed professional counselor with 8 years of experience in providing therapeutic mental health services. My approach to therapy has been developed from a client-centered focus that utilizes a strength-based treatment plan including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and it is a passion of mine to work with BIPOC and those that identify within the LGBTQIA spectrum.
The strength of the therapeutic relationship is imperative to working through one's opportunities and obstacles. My role is to be a tool in order to support people to better be able to problem solve and work through what is affecting their quality of life. I work with clients to explore trauma in a holistic and safe environment, as I understand that seeking treatment is a complex experience that can feel uncomfortable or uncertain. Trauma comes in a lot of different forms and can stem from all facets of life. Intersectional understanding and exploration is important to understanding a client’s experience, which plays a critical role in how I strive to provide therapy. It is my belief that my clients know themselves best, and their insight and experiences can help me navigate what skills I can use in order to help them improve and grow.
My experience has provided me the opportunity to work with at-risk youth, clients experiencing severe mental illness, college students (regular and unconventional), and community and social support. I think that talk therapy is important, but other avenues of creativity are also helpful when talking is difficult. Often it is challenging to open up to a stranger, but working with an art activity or a mindfulness exercise can lead to feeling more comfortable moving forward. I look forward to working with new clients in order to provide them support and help them increase self-reliance and sustainability.
