About Marilyn
Marilyn Ramirez-Torres is a California licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with trauma, grief, low self esteem, depression, and LGBTQ-related concerns. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she encourages clients to notice their own strengths as they work through hard moments.
Marilyn begins by listening to each person's story and asking what matters most right now. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them find practical steps that fit their situation. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable changes and clearer ways to handle painful feelings.
Her background includes a range of mental health settings where she supported people facing loss, relationship strain, mood changes, and the long-term effects of trauma. That experience informs how she supports clients who struggle with shame, abandonment, body image, or isolation.
Marilyn pays close attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns show up today. She also helps people manage caregiver stress, chronic illness burdens, and the emotional fallout from separation or midlife transitions. Conversations often cover communication skills, setting boundaries, and repairing self-worth.
She works in English and practices in California. If someone is ready to begin, Marilyn asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling so sessions can start with clear goals.
