About Me

Hola, I’m Jennifer I. Ramirez, LCSW — a bicultural, bilingual therapist based in Illinois. I grew up in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs and am proud to be a first-generation Puerto Rican and Mexican woman.

Growing up in a community shaped by systemic barriers, cultural expectations, and limited access to care inspired my passion for providing therapy that is accessible, affirming, and culturally responsive.

Who I Work With

I work with Latinos, business professionals, Gen Xers, Millennials, señoras, men, young adults, college students, and everyday people — individuals who carry a lot, often quietly.

My Approach

My practice offers a supportive, grounding, and nonjudgmental space for those who feel unseen, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin.

Whether you’re here to process trauma, explore identity, maintain your mental health, or build better boundaries, we’ll go at your pace — gently, collaboratively, and with care.

I understand that starting therapy can feel uncertain, scary, or even awkward — and that’s completely okay. We’ll move as slowly as you need.

My Commitment

I’m committed to reducing barriers to care through flexible options, cultural responsiveness, and collaboration with other professionals to expand equitable access to therapy.

For me, therapy isn’t just about healing — it’s about reclaiming your agency, building self-trust, and creating a life that feels authentically yours.
