About Emma

“I aim to provide high quality mental health care and empowerment to help individuals within the BIPOC community and their Allies reach their full potential”

Hi there! I am Emma C Ramos, a bilingual (English & Spanish) Associate Marriage and Family therapist in California. I earned my Associate of Arts degree in Psychology from East Los Angeles College and Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from California State University Dominguez Hills where I found a passion in exploring more about the mind-body connection that affects our emotional wellbeing. I earned my Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. I completed my year-long practicum at Five Acres within their community-based specialty program where I provided a wide variety of mental health services for young children/ teens and their families. In addition, I gathered experience working with a wide range of populations including community-based services,
foster care, adoptions, and monolingual spanish-speaking families/parents.

As a first generation Mexican-American woman and therapist, my mission is to destigmatize mental illness within our ethnically diverse communities through a safe and non-judgemental environment. I understand the complexity that comes with being a person of color navigating through the mental health system, which is why I intend to integrate a cultural awareness and sensitivity approach. I aim to meet clients where they are and to apply interventions at their own pace.

My therapeutic approach is a blend of different modalities, including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, culture-sensitive therapy, trauma-informed therapy, and inner child work. These techniques help clients develop a mental health toolbox filled with healthy coping skills such as relaxation techniques, worksheets, journaling, art, and exercise. I work with clients to navigate challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Additionally, I offer individual therapy for parents of children with disabilities, as well as support for mothers experiencing baby blues or postpartum depression. My goal is to empower clients in creating a healthy, meaningful life by utilizing their strengths to reach their full potential.

Fun Facts:

• I like being creative in different ways.
• I have watched almost every Marvel movie/show.
• I enjoy getting away from the city and visiting Big Bear lake.
• I am a girl mom.

I’m committed to making a positive impact in underserved communities and take pride in my role at KCWPSYCH, supporting our team in delivering exceptional services and guiding our clients on their journeys to mental health and wellness.
