About Melissa Ramirez-Pavano, Psy.D.

Hello/ Bienvenidos! My name is Dr. Melissa Ramirez-Pavano.  I am a bilingual  (Spanish/English) licensed psychologist, who provides mental health services across the state of California. I also am the owner of Colores Therapy and Wellness. Colores Therapy and Wellness provides telehealth individual mental health services for older adolescents (16+), young adults, and adults experiencing depression, stress, and anxiety due to past history of trauma, chronic health conditions, relationship issues, work stress/ burnout, current events, family/generational issues, and racism. Colores Therapy and Wellness provides holistic, integrative, and evidence based therapy. Making the decision to seek therapy can be overwhelming and stressful. I acknowledge the time, effort, and courage it takes to seek support. Whatever the reason that brings you here, I want to let you know that you are not alone in your quest to understand and heal. Colores Therapy and Wellness’ goals are to help others find their authentic self, build a better understanding of their thoughts and emotions, and make meaningful change to their lives. You are welcomed and accepted here, without judgement.
