I want to positively impact every client I have the opportunity to serve.

Michelle works with adults and adolescents ages 10+ on depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-injury behaviors, trauma, self-esteem, school anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, LGBTQ, and emotional disregulation.

When people feel isolated or alone in their situation, they need someone else to help them gain a new perspective, feel differently, or at times escape the state at hand. My philosophy is to view therapy as if it were a "tune up" to help people keep operating through life. Just like cars need regular tune ups and oil changes to keep running smoothly, people also need regular check-ins and support for internal issues. This is especially important for people of color and minority populations because they face additional societal challenges (including microaggressions) that may or may not be overt but are often painful.

Greetings, I am Dr. Edgar Ramos, founder and Director of Ramos and Associates Behavioral Health Clinic. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience in various capacities. I have worked with many populations, such as children, adolescents and adults. My experience as a director of clinical services for residential treatment services, behavioral health hospital and community outpatient clinic gives me a robust range of specialties and experiences.

As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.
