Liliana Ramos

Lili is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned her master’s degree in counseling with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health from Adler University. She brings a strong foundation of experience to her work, including four years as a residential counselor supporting adolescents through complex emotional and behavioral challenges. Her approach to therapy is curious, explorative, and challenges the status quo of expectations that bind us. 

With a special interest in sibling order and family dynamics, Lili takes a collaborative, inquisitive approach to understanding how relational roles shape identity and self-worth. She also supports individuals navigating complex emotions, identity development, and life transitions. Lili especially enjoys working with individuals who are willing to sit with the discomfort of vulnerability and explore the internalized expectations that may no longer serve them. Recognizing the triumphs and tribulations of therapy, she hopes her clients come to trust not just her, but themselves, as they reconnect with a more authentic and resilient sense of self in a world that often encourages comparison over connection.

Lili is a fierce advocate for walking alongside her clients as they reclaim and rediscover their personal power. So often, we’re told who we should be—without being given space to explore who we want to become. With a modern and intuitive approach, she blends Narrative and Adlerian frameworks to guide each client’s unique process. These approaches work together to support a holistic understanding of each client and the systems they move through. In the therapeutic space—which can sometimes feel intimidating and abstract—Lili’s warm, grounded presence helps ease clients into the process. She meets people where they’re at, using imagination, authenticity, and deep curiosity to co-create a space where growth and healing feel possible. 

As a Latina and eldest daughter, Lili knows the internal conflict and fear that can come with seeking therapy—especially when you’re used to being the one to hold it all together. Her work is guided by a deep respect for each person’s lived experience and the many identities they carry. She is committed to creating a space where Latines and individuals with intersecting marginalized identities feel welcomed, affirmed, and free to move at their own pace—without pressure, expectation, or pretense. Lili honors the courage it takes to ask for support and believes healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as our full selves.

During her free time, Lili enjoys walking and discovering new coffee shops around Chicago. In the true spirit of imagination, you can be sure to find Lili rewatching the How to Train Your Dragon series to decompress after a long day of mental engagement. She is also an avid plant enthusiast, having propagated seven(!) monstera deliciosas from a single origin!
