About Me

Jennifer I 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 household shaped by systemic barriers, cultural expectations, and the power of access to care fueled 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, OCD, PTSD, chronic and acute grief, unhealthy attachment styles, perfectionism, people pleasing, and more. I also hold space for those impacted by poverty, substance use, emotional neglect, narcassistic abuse and trauma rooted in outdated cultural beliefs.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 to care by offering flexible options and collaborating with other professionals to expand equitable access to therapy.

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

I recognize that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, awkward, even uncomfortable—and that’s completely okay. We don’t have to rush. Together, we’ll go at your pace, honoring where you are and allowing the process to unfold gently and with care.
