Therapist

Gabriela (Gaby) Ramos (she/her) is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who completed her Master's in Social Work at Loyola University. She has worked in residential and community based settings with a primary focus on working with  children, adolescents and adults.

Across the various populations she has served, she has worked and advocated to reduce the stigma of mental health and has adapted her approach to counseling through self awareness education. Her primary focus has been to support individuals through  trauma, eating disorders, immediate or ongoing crisis, substance abuse, grief, anxiety and depression and find their strengths within their situation. 

Gaby’s focuses most on spiritual, mindfulness, client centered and strength based approaches. However, additional approaches are incorporated depending on each person’s needs. She believes that the therapeutic journey starts with an open, emotionally supported and nonjudgmental environment. This approach allows for individuals’ unique needs to be met through communication as they explore goals, address challenges, identify fears, triggers and focus on managing them through their strengths.

When not at Head and Heart she strives to keep up with reading, crocheting, painting, drawing, listening to music, reading,drinking coffee, spending time with her pup, cats and family.
