About Me
Ramona M. Aguilar, LCSW
I am Ramona M. Aguilar, a bilingual licensed clinical social worker with 10+ years of clinical mental health experience. Before my clinical work, I worked with underserved communities, providing advocacy and skills to promote wellbeing for 10+ years. I earned my master’s degree from Cal State University, Los Angeles, in 2015, with a concentration in mental health. I continue my commitment at CSULA as a Mentor for current students seeking careers in the public sector of social services. I was promoted to a psychiatric social worker at LAC DMH after graduation. I served adults with severe to mild persistent mental illness. I have undergone training enabling me to serve a variety of clients. I work with a range of clients suffering from depression to psychotic disorders and those who have been victims of trauma and suffered from PTSD and substance addiction.
Additionally, I utilize my training and experience to work with immigrants seeking residency in the United States. I work closely with immigration lawyers to complete psychological assessments to support a path to citizenship or obtain visas to reside in the United States. In addition to my clinical training, I am also a Gender Affirming Advocate with the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing writing supporting letters to transgender and non-binary individuals. I have continuously attended training to ensure that I am well equipped to provide quality care to all my clients. My personal and professional experience helps me remain committed to serving clients with compassion, integrity, and the skills necessary to promote a foundation for an authentic and fulfilling life. I look forward to joining you in your path of healing, insight, and self-discovery.
