My name is Ramon Aleman. As a child (and now) I was gifted with a sensitivity, empathy, and ability to make others feel comfortable and understood. This innate propensity inspired a curiosity of humans, suffering, and the mind/heart from a young age. However, it wasn’t until my own descent into depression at the age of 20 that I decided being a therapist was my calling. Through my own therapeutic work and journey into darkness I solidified my desire to become a therapist and bring the same healing I found to others while integrating my own continued journey of seeking wisdom and spirituality. My path has led me to explore various forms of meditation and contemplation, sit in Lakota sweat lodge, journey on a Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, attend yoga school in India, sit with Ayahuasca in the Amazon and Iboga in Gabon, and immerse myself in the philosophies of Buddhism and Stoicism.

As a therapist I am committed to walking alongside my clients and providing a safe container to transform wounds into healing, wholeness, and wisdom. Rather than just treating symptoms, my approach is to help clients dive deep within themselves and strive toward being better humans overall. I believe my gift lies in my grounding presence and loving gentleness – I have been described as a “gentle warrior.” My therapeutic approach is person centered and experiential. I did my mental health counseling degree at the University of Florida and my training at a Crisis Center, Addiction Center, and Domestic Violence center. I specialize in grief and trauma processing. I also specialize in, spirituality/meaning/purpose, dream work, sexual trauma, psychedelic integration, addictions and men's work. I am trained in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Grief Ritual Work (Through Francis Weller). I also finished a 3 year program in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy/Integration with an emphasis on indigenous wisdom. I am honored to have traveled to and learned from the plant medicine traditions in Gabon with the Bwiti (Iboga), Mexico with the Huichol (Peyote) and Ecuador with the Ai Cofan (Ayahuascha). I am also currently in training for dream work through This Jungian Life.

Outside my role as a therapist you can catch me reading, watching movies, exercising, and spending time in nature. I grew up in Miami as a Cuban-American so I often play dominoes (my favorite game of all time) with my friends and family. My father worked on a charter boat when I was growing up so I fished since a young age and absolutely adore the ocean. Yet, my greatest passion is adventure travel! I’ve worked as a dog sledder in Alaska, traveled across Mongolia on horseback, and backpacked/hitchhiked solo through East Africa.
