Giuseppe Ramos

I am a Latino, cisgender gay, able-bodied immigrant from Peru. My personal and professional experiences shape my approach to therapy, which is grounded in curiosity, empathy, compassion, and acceptance of our shared humanity. I believe growth is an ongoing process, and therapy can provide a meaningful space to better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that shape your life.

In our work together, we will explore your relationships, family dynamics, goals, and coping strategies to help you feel more grounded and supported. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions and to practice expressing them in ways that feel authentic and effective. I work with both individuals and couples, supporting clients as they navigate relational challenges and strengthen emotional connection.

With nearly two decades of counseling-related experience, I have worked with diverse communities, including Latinx and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. I support clients around a wide range of concerns, including trauma, immigration, intimacy, grief, sex work, polyamorous and consensually non monogamous relationships, and other often-stigmatized or taboo topics, always within a respectful and affirming therapeutic space. I specialize in identity-related concerns and the ways unaddressed stress, pressure to conform, and past experiences can accumulate over time and feel overwhelming. I help clients release what keeps them anchored to the past or anxious about the future so they can feel more present
and connected.

Growing up queer in a heteronormative society deeply shaped my understanding of the challenges many people face around identity, self-acceptance, and relationships. My own experience in therapy was transformative and inspired me to pursue this work. In my couples work, I draw from training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to help partners better understand their emotional patterns, improve communication, and build trust and connection. While therapy can be challenging and requires commitment, I also believe it can be empowering, affirming, and even enjoyable.

The path toward healing and change is rarely linear, but by reaching out, you are already taking a meaningful step forward. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward growth, healing, and greater well-being.
