Mariela Ramos

Hello! I’m Mariela Ramos, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Educator, and Doctor of Social Work candidate at Rutgers University.

I’m passionate about supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and emotional or behavioral difficulties.

My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences, build on their strengths, and work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing life transitions, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and emotional or behavioral difficulties. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Together, we will explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.

During our first session, we will begin getting to know one another and discuss what brought you to therapy, the concerns you would like support with, and what you hope to gain from the process. I will ask questions about your experiences, strengths, relationships, and current challenges while giving you space to share at a pace that feels comfortable. Together, we will begin identifying your goals and discuss how we can approach treatment in a way that feels supportive, collaborative, and responsive to your needs.
