Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Hello, my name is Rudy Ramirez and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Applied Community Psychology in 2022. As a therapist, I have worked with adolescent youth, adults, and families. I have experience working with individuals with diverse backgrounds, providing culturally sensitive treatment. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, relational issues, trauma/PTSD, sexual identity, life transitions, anger management, and managing stress. I am an EMDR trained therapist. My approach to therapy is an integrated approach of EMDR, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Gestalt therapy. I aim to create a therapeutic environment for people to feel safe and heard. The counseling process is an alliance between the client and therapist. The structure of the therapeutic relationship allows people to access their inner strengths and promote change.

About me...
Hello! Hi, I am Tamara Morales, AMFT. I graduated from Antioch University with a master’s in clinical psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy and I received my undergraduate degree from California State University of Los Angeles. I have experience working with at risk youth, justice involved adults, school based with children and adolescents, and severe persistently mentally ill adults. My goal is to provide supportive listening and a safe space to patients during their healing process while taking into account the patient's upbringing, family dynamics, culture, social-economic status, spiritual/religious beliefs, trauma and medical factors that contribute to their mental health. I enjoy listening to music, drawing, puzzles, watching movies, video games and exploring nature.
