Doctoral Level Licensed Professional Counselor
Online Therapy
I am Kirsten Ramey. I am a Doctoral level, Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. Clients usually refer to me as Dr. Ramey, Dr K or even Doc. I am a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider and I have worked in the mental health field for 17 years in community/within home settings, schools, the juvenile justice system, private practice settings, and OL settings. My expertise is related to working with individuals, couples and families that experience communication difficulties, anxiety, stress, depression, and behavioral challenges. I am an Adlerian counselor, who utilizes CBT and Solution Focused Techniques. I will be more than happy to answer any questions about what any or all of those terms means. My goal is to create, nurture, and maintain strategic working alliances to take the mystery out of counseling. I want you to understand your own process of healing. Therefore, I empower you throughout your counseling journey as you make meaningful changes. I don't consider myself the expert of your life, YOU are! I am here to clinically and professionally facilitate change. I do not subscribe to the sick-theory, rather I view my clients as "discouraged." I advocate, encourage and empower those that I work with towards emotional health. My goal is to assist you in working towards regaining a new perspective on life. In addition to therapy, I also own a film development company with my husband.

“A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant.” – Chaim Potok, The Chosen “Every time we ask a question, we’re generating a possible version of a life.” – David Epston  Hi! I’m Jaime, and I’m honored to make your acquaintance. I am currently a graduate student in the Master of Arts Marriage and Family Therapy Program at National University. I am working under the supervision of Rosa Montoya, LMFT#115495. I have experience working with school-aged children in academic settings as an instructional assistant for special education. Additionally, as an MFT trainee, I have had the privilege of collaborating with children and teens who have experienced bullying and abuse to explore preferred identities. I also have a variety of lived experiences that have expanded my ability to question my assumptions, listen empathetically, and be curious. My life has been one in search for meaning. When I was younger, I thought that meaning came from the answers to life’s difficult questions like “What does my suffering say about me?”, “Who am I?”, and “How do I make a difference?” – and I searched for answers in many contexts, including spirituality, creative writing, art, music, and literature. My personal search for meaning and answers led me to volunteer for disaster relief in the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami; while I was in Japan, I encountered what it was like to live in another culture and respect and value other ways of being. Since that experience, I have found that questions – not answers – hold a universe of possibilities and allow meaning to grow, change, and become with me. As a narrative therapist-in-training, I am passionate about exploring with you all the rich possibilities of becoming. I see life as a journey whose paths, detours, fellow travelers, luggage, and destinations are yours to choose, define, and relate to in ways that reflect your values and the meaning you wish to create. I hope to collaborate with you in questioning constrained descriptions of life to create more space for you to reauthor, explore, and discover new possibilities of being and becoming. It would be my honor to join with you in elevating and privileging your voice, experiences, knowledge, preferred meaning, and values in our conversations together. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I look forward to joining with you on your journey!
