There is no special formula that can erase your situation but there is a way to get through it. Although at times, what we are facing is situational, it has an effect on us internally. The purpose of Ramir's Counseling Center of Hope, PLLC, is to work with each client to expose, address and conquer whatever that may be.

I am currently licensed to practice in the state of Texas.

I recognize that one approach will not work for every person you come in contact with. Therefore, I utilize skills from different treatment approaches in order to successfully serve each individual. My approach is eclectic, but will be delivered in a structured format.

Cognitive Behaivioral Therapy

I provide individual counseling services through Telehealth/virtual services.
