Dr. Norma Ramírez, Ph.D (she/ her/ ella), is a bicultural-bilingual (Spanish-English) undocumented licensed psychologist in California and Nevada. She has served as the Clinical Director at an immigration non-profit where she provided free therapy and immigration mental health evaluations and is currently growing her private practice. Dr. Ramírez serves diverse populations from undocumented immigrant communities to first generation professionals to neurodivergent individuals to the LGBTQ community. 

She is an advocate for the immigrant community, exemplified by her role as a plaintiff against the Trump Administration for illegally rescinding DACA in 2017 and recognition by the Biden and Harris Administration as a Latinx leader. Clinically, she provides direct services to clients, develops and implements behavioral health programming, provides mental health literacy workshops for minoritized populations, and provides workshops to educators, lawyers, and mental health professionals on improving services for undocumented communities. At the intersection of her spirituality, activism, and professional identities, her own marginalized identities inform how she approaches her work in all of these areas.
