Post-Doctoral Fellow in Chicago, Illinois Heidi Ramirez, Post-Doctoral Fellow

Dr. Heidi Ramirez helps individuals navigate life’s challenges through evidence-based, compassionate care that fosters resilience and personal growth. Practicing in Illinois, she supports adolescents, teens, and adults in developing healthier relationships with themselves and others, while managing conditions that may be interfering with everyday functioning. Whether helping a teen understand their anxiety, guiding a young adult through identity exploration, or equipping adults with tools to manage ADHD or trauma, Dr. Ramirez provides clinically grounded, individualized support tailored to each client’s needs. Dr. Ramirez offers individual therapy, group therapy, and comprehensive psychological testing to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. She draws from her extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure Therapy to treat a range of mental health concerns including anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and sleep disorders. Her collaborative and trauma-informed style creates a safe, nonjudgmental space for self-reflection and change. She is particularly passionate about conducting forensic, psychological, and neuropsychological testing—helping individuals and families better understand complex behavioral, emotional, and cognitive concerns. Dr. Ramirez has developed deep expertise in this area, including experience with forensic evaluations, ADHD assessments, and neuropsychological profiles. Her testing work supports clients in navigating challenges related to autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, and traumatic brain injuries. Dr. Ramirez also enjoys working with first responders, military veterans, and individuals navigating adoption or foster care. Her inclusive practice embraces the needs of the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring gender identity and reproductive challenges. Outside the therapy room, Dr. Ramirez finds joy in traveling and spending time with friends and family—experiences that continually renew her sense of empathy and connection with others.
