Angela Jensen-Ramirez, MSW, LCSW
I have a passion for working with couples who are in turmoil and feel stuck in their negative cycle. You might fall into this category if you and your partner often scream and yell at each other and nothing ever changes or gets solved.
Maybe you feel hopeless that anything will ever change but you still want to stay with your partner and underneath it all you care for them.
My approach gently meets you right where you and your partner are, and hold a safe supportive space to explore all that may be alive in you both…whatever is present.
Cost - $155 for 50-minute session
Couples Counselor
I use the attachment-based process of Emotionally Focused Therapy to move couples from pain, stagnation and fighting to deeper connection, understanding and lasting love. Emotionally Focused Therapy is an empirically validated approach to couples therapy, and is based on 20 years of research. About 95% of couples who finish the process rate significant improvement, with over 70% successfully recovering from marital distress
When I work with couples, I look at your whole relationship through the integrated approach of assessing sex and intimacy issues along with emotional and behavioral interpersonal patterns. In our sessions you will come to feel comfortable sharing some of the more difficult and private aspects of your relationship with me.
Post-Partum Counseling
If you are expecting a baby, or you have recently welcomed a new child into your life, you have entered into one of the biggest changes of your life. Whether this is your first baby, or you are a parent to more than one, I understand that each time a child enters your family, life changes. Big time!
Even though most of us feel “prepared” for our little ones, to some degree there is nothing that can fully prepare us for the unexpected changes that happens on so many levels.
If you are experiencing worry, feeling overwhelmed, low energy, self-doubt, or just plain exhaustion, I want you to know that you are not alone. You may have had a thought that you may be experiencing postpartum anxiety, or depression…or you may simply feel a little “down”.
Working with new moms is one of my favorite areas of my job as a counselor. I bring my experience as a mother, my clinical training and experience, and my especially my compassion and presence for what you are experiencing.
