Mary Ramatici
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
What makes my practice different is simple: you are never just a diagnosis or a checklist to me. I take the time to truly get to know you, your story, and what healing looks like for you specifically, because no two people's journeys are the same. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're carrying more than you can hold on your own, this is your sign to reach out. You don't have to have it all figured out before you contact me. All you need is a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right where you are.

My Role as Your Therapist
As your therapist, I serve as a compassionate witness, a steady source of support, and a guide. I bring over 23 years of clinical experience to our sessions, blending a soft, accepting environment with a direct, strength-based perspective. Together, we will work collaboratively to help you:
Develop a deeper sense of self-awareness
Navigate difficult life transitions and stress
Learn practical, evidence-based coping skills
Create the fulfilling life and relationships you desire
My Goals for Your Healing Journey
My primary goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we cannot change the difficult situations of your past, we can absolutely work together to better understand, process, and resolve the challenges you face today.
By applying complementary, evidence-based therapy approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and trauma-informed care—we will identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back. Whether you are seeking extra support through a challenging crisis or you are finally ready to move your life or relationship in a brand-new direction, I am here to help you achieve your goals.

Narrative
Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. During those years, I have worked with adolescents and young adults in a variety of settings – hospitals, day treatment facilities, universities, schools, and private practice. My first job out of social work school was at Bellevue Medical Center in New York City with adolescents. The adolescents with whom I worked at Bellevue gave me an education in humor, creativity, and strength. I obtained counseling positions at both UCLA and USC working with students on their academic challenges and the stress that impacts their success. It is fair to say that I have learned how to listen to adolescents, understand how to connect with them, and help them to gain confidence and the strategies to improve themselves and their situation. But I have also grasped the stress of parents have when raising adolescents and provided support, understanding, and tools to manage this important role. I’ve been training my whole life for this. I grew up with a mother who taught children with learning disabilities and a father who always gave back to the community recognizing those less fortunate. I learned early through volunteering at my mother’s school, volunteering at mental health helplines, supporting friends throughout high school, becoming a mom, and throughout my work in social work that providing another person with a patient and listening ear could provide support and understanding. It could be said that all that I have experienced, shared, and studied so far has been training me for the role I cherish that of psychotherapist.
