Carmen Ramos Mental Health Counselor - Limited Permit

Carmen Ramos, Mental Health Counselor - Limited Permit, 18-P116561-01 is practicing under the supervision of Tashanee Edwards (New York, LMHC, 010125) at Humantold.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases.

I personally believe anyone is capable of change regardless of how anyone started in life. This overlaps with my treatment philosophy as I try to help clients not feel defined or restrained by mistakes, trauma, disorders, flaws, or family. Instead, I guide my clients to find their voice and redefine who they want to become despite their experiences.

By providing a nonjudgmental environment, I utilize empathy, patience, and encouragement to empower clients through healing and self-discovery. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, hoping to guide clients to a more in-depth connection to themselves and gain agency over their lives despite the challenges they face

Many clients tend to blame themselves for not being/doing enough. Expectations from internal or external stressors tend to play out throughout their therapeutic journey, where they feel as though there is something inherently wrong with them. This insight helps guide my approach by helping clients practice self-compassion and patience while they relearn to allow themselves to be human and feel comfortable being themselves.

I am dedicated to working with various underserved communities such as LGBTQ+, immigrants, neurodivergent, racial/cultural minorities, etc. I have diverse experience working with teens to older adults who struggle with mood disorders like depression and various forms of anxiety, low self-esteem, life transition/adaption, eating disorders, family conflict, LGBTQ+ issues, complex trauma, political unrest, racial/cultural trauma, and grief.
