Dr. Liliana Campos Ramales

Liliana Campos Ramales, Psy.D.
Psychologist
As a generalist counseling psychologist inspired by Liberation Psychology, Dr. Campos believes that individual and community wellness are profoundly connected. Her approach centers on understanding the impact of sociopolitical factors on clients’ health and strengthening their resilience through a social-justice lens that creates and nurtures empowering, radical and liberating narratives. Dr. Campos is Latina-identified and draws from critical race theory, decolonial thought, activism and community organizing to explore the intersection of wellness, healing for self and community transformation. She helps clients focus on strengths and goals to cultivate healing and wellness. Her primary focus areas include decolonial healing; racial trauma; first-gen, immigrant, undocumented and international students; activism; and community organizing. Dr. Campos’ clinical research interests include engaging in ancestral healing practices to address the impacts of racial and colonial trauma and the impact of activism among immigrant, refugee and undocumented students of color.
