Jennifer Ramirez, LCSW

Hola! I’m a 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 low-income household shaped my understanding of systemic barriers, cultural expectations, and the power of access to care. These lived experiences fuel my passion for providing therapy that is accessible, affirming, and culturally responsive.

I work with Latinos, business professionals, Gen Xers, Millennials, señoras, men, young adults, college students, and everyday people—people who carry a lot and often carry it quietly. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief, and more. I also hold space for those impacted by poverty, substance use, emotional neglect, and trauma rooted in outdated cultural beliefs.

My practice offers a supportive and grounding space for single parents, caregivers, oldest daughters/sons and those who feel overwhelmed or unseen. Whether you’re here to process trauma, explore identity, maintain your mental health, or just build better boundaries—I’m here to hold that space with you.

I’m committed to reducing barriers through reduced-rate services for low-income clients and by collaborating with other professionals to expand equitable care.

I believe therapy is not just about healing—it's about reclaiming agency, building self-trust, and creating a life that feels like yours.

Let’s connect and walk this path with compassion, dignity, and strength.
