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!

Life's path is not always straight. There are curves, bumps & cracks. Do you know where you are on your path? As a Licensed Psychologist, giving therapy is more than just a mere session between a patient and a practitioner - I see it as a shared journey. I utilize different and customized approaches to counseling to treat what obstacles are on your path. I am also a certified rehabilitation counselor with over 20 years experience in the field of disabilities. Together we will learn who you are and what you will become on your journey. We will utilize various techniques mediation breathing mindfulness and awareness. On your journey, together, we will discover you and all of the parts that you are. By accepting all those parts, things will start to be different. Through your journey we will explore different ways being mindful, being in the present and being grateful and accepting of yourself. This will lead you to different paths and different discoveries and lead to a deeper appreciation of who you are and what you are becoming. I look forward to traveling this journey and your path of discovery with you! A little more about me... Becoming a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of New York is one of my greatest accomplishments. But so is getting in and out of bed, exercising in the morning and then going out into the world to help others. You see, I was born with cerebral palsy, and simple tasks for most people (like getting dressed and getting in and out of a car) can sometimes present monumental challenges for my body and mind. Even though I am considered disabled, it’s because of my physical challenges that I have learned an incredible amount through the process of being me. I have learned what kind of mindset helps and hurts our ability to deal with setbacks, conquer fears, reach our goals, find love and become the best person we can be. My specialty is working with people who identify as disabled, but of course, since we are all the same at our core, all of the principles I practice and share can be applied to the able-bodied as well! I am also trained in psychedelic integration for those who consider themselves psycho nuts! (er, I mean Psychonauts! lol)
