More about Luis

  • 8 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

Hello, my name is Dr. Luis D. Ramirez, Ph.D., DSW, LCSW, and I am the founder of Rising Potential Counseling LCSW, PLLC. As a dedicated diagnostic and trauma doctor, I am based in the Central New York region and offer my services to clients throughout New York. My professional and personal journey has exposed me to various forms of adversity and hardship, shaping my deep understanding of the healing process. I recognize how crucial it is to have compassionate support while navigating the complexities of trauma, and I am committed to providing that support to my clients.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my vocation is being actively involved in others' healing journeys. I have experienced my transformations through challenging circumstances, and this personal journey fuels my passion to help others uncover their strength and resilience. I aim to empower my clients to emerge from their struggles and realize their potential.

I maintain a flexible and adaptable approach to therapy. This allows me to incorporate diverse therapeutic styles and techniques specifically tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Effective healing cannot be confined to rigid methodologies; instead, it must be guided by the specific context and requirements of the person seeking help.

My primary focus is facilitating your healing process in a safe, judgment-free environment. I strive to create a space where you can be open and honest about your feelings and experiences, free from the fear of criticism. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, tapping into your inherent potential. My goal is to support you in living a more fulfilling and happier life, guiding you to unlock the possibilities that await you. Together, we can cultivate the resilience and strengths you possess to help you rise to new heights.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
