Hi there! My name is Janita Ramar and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with individuals with a host of mental health diagnoses including (depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders) as well as stress-related difficulties, trauma-related issues, and substance use disorders. The stigma associated with obtaining mental health treatment can be discouraging at times, so I applaud you for finding the strength to seek help and focus on YOU! My main focus during the initial stages of therapy is establishing a therapeutic relationship which is based on empathy and trust, then working toward collaborating and creating goals based on the client’s needs/preference. I encourage clients to partake in their process of healing and growth while having the platform to share thoughts/feelings freely without fear of judgment. I find it essential to discuss therapeutic techniques and approaches with clients in order to enable them to engage and begin to establish ownership of their treatment. I operate from the stance that a therapeutic alliance that encompasses honesty, openness, and unconditional positive regard is key in promoting progress in a client’s treatment process. My approach in assisting clients is strength-based, person-centered, as well as solution-focused to name a few. I find it is essential to meet a client where he or she is at and assist them in processing and deciding what they hope to focus on. Being a source of support, acceptance, and trust are qualities that I strongly value and contribute to the counseling relationship. I am passionate about assisting clients with growing, healing, and ultimately bettering themselves and leading fulfilling lives. I believe that the process of change is largely person-based and levels of motivation play a large role in regulating change. I strongly believe that each client has the ability to overcome obstacles and is able to progress greatly with the development/utilization of coping skills, and having empathetic support from a dedicated therapist which I hope to be for you. You have already taken ownership of your therapeutic process by starting here! I would be honored to assist you in your road to developing a healthy and happier YOU!

I have spent the first 14 years of my career keeping families intact including the prevention of incarceration, psychiatric hospitalization, and foster care placements. I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals and families in very vulnerable situations, helping them to move forward in life feeling better, more sure of themselves, with stronger relationships. I believe that the most important thing I bring to every individual I meet is the use of myself as a person to help them to feel safe with me so that they can become open enough to allow change to happen. A supportive and trusting relationship between us will be the foundation for your healing and growing. I know how difficult it can be to take the leap into therapy, which can feel like a vulnerable experience. I am here to support you in this vulnerable space so that we can do the work together for you to feel better and achieve your goals

I am licensed in New York and New Jersey with an array of 30+ years of professional work experience. I've facilitated groups at halfway houses, worked in numerous crisis centers and hospitals, advocated and counseled people who have been survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, worked with TBI clients, etc. All of these work endeavors were to seek answers on how best to help people. It is also for this reason that I'm eternally learning new evidence-based approaches to therapy. I hold certifications in trauma, ADHD, nutrition and mental health, grief, integrative sex therapy, DBT, as well as extensive knowledge in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, etc. On a national level, I train other professionals on sexual trauma. All of this education is designed to give you as many tools as possible to help you achieve your goals and alleviate your symptoms starting with the first session. I have learned that around 80% of the strategies I've learned will work for you and about 20% will be unique to you. We'll figure your recipe out together. Life can be wonderful, and I want you living your best life instead of in therapy with me once a week. Of course, we will go at a pace that works for you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
