Liliana Ramos

Lili is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned her master’s in counseling with a specialization in clinical mental health from Adler University. Lili also has extensive experience working with adolescents as a residential counselor for four years.

Lili is a fierce advocate for walking alongside her clients as they learn to reclaim and discover their personal power. We are often told who we should be without being given the space to explore who we want to be. With a specialty in sibling order, and as the eldest daughter herself, Lili facilitates a curious approach to discerning how perceived family roles have influenced the client’s development. She has a modern approach to therapy, utilizing Narrative and Adlerian approaches and incorporates their unique modalities to best suit the clients she is working with. These approaches work in tandem to provide a holistic approach to understanding the client. 

Lili values imagination, connection, and authenticity within the therapeutic space as a way to bring forth the authentic version of oneself into the room. She is interested in working with clients who open themselves up to the difficult process of vulnerability. As a Latina, Lili has a personal understanding of the internal struggle that comes with seeking therapeutic services and hopes to provide a safe space for Latines to process at their own pace. She further expands her clinical scope to include clients of multiple intersecting identities.

Lili’s approach to therapy is curious, explorative, and challenges the status quo of expectations that bind us. In the therapeutic space, which can sometimes be intimidating and abstract, Lili strives to foster an environment that exudes warmth and comfort to help ease the client into the process. Recognizing the triumphs and tribulations of therapy, Lili hopes that her clients come to trust her, as well as themselves, to move toward a better version of themselves. Her primary goal is to help clients cultivate a resilient sense of self amidst a world that incessantly fosters comparison to others.

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!
