Brandon Ramirez, LCSW
San Francisco

Overcoming life’s obstacles is no easy task, especially alone. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and implementing the practice of having grace with yourself. This was instilled in me as a clinician through my diverse work experience in a multitude of populations: university counseling center, residential treatment centers, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. I have been exposed to training in evidence-based practices and readily pull interventions from DBT, CBT, Solutions Focused Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Behavioral Activation. I strive to foster a safe, supportive, and welcoming relationship to meet the unique lived experience you wish to bring to the surface. My goal is to promote healing through therapy by collaborating, empowering, and providing education on coping skills that fit your needs.

How I stay healthy and happy
I believe in the mind-body connection and strive to maintain routines that uplift me. I enjoy physical activity in the early morning before starting my day, as it allows me to give back to myself first. I engage in self-care activities that bring relaxation, such as watching anime, reading fun books, dancing at music events, playing board games and video games, walking my dog, and practicing good sleep hygiene. I also enjoy a good laugh, whether at my own expense, with friends, or while watching good content.
