Meet our Team:
TaLisa Ramos-Watts MSW, LSW, CCTP-I
Mental Health Clinician, Intuitive Healer, Consultant, and Speaker
TaLisa Ramos-Watts (she/her/ella) is a Licensed Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania, with a Bachelor's in Social Work from Elizabethtown College and a Master's in Social Work from Millersville University. For the past 12 years TaLisa has dedicated herself to cultivating an environment of equity and inclusion in higher education and mental health care settings. During her tenure, TaLisa has developed and implemented intercultural mentorship and support programs at various collegiate institutions, increasing Black, Indigenous, Latine, and Asian students’ success and retention rates. In the mental health field, TaLisa's clinical experiences include inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, outpatient care, emergency room psychiatric services, case management, and educational support. TaLisa continues her work in the mental health field as an outpatient mental health clinician at Harvest 3 Gathering, committed to offering her clients holistic support and individualized care through individual, group, and family therapy. Through her services, TaLisa offers assistance for a myriad of issues including managing stress, relationship issues, improving self-esteem, mood disorders, trauma, and spirituality. Her areas of unique focus are cultural and intergenerational trauma, to which she utilizes a comprehensive and client centered approach through ancestral healing, trauma informed care, and internal family systems. TaLisa is passionate about breaking the stigma of mental health in Communities of Color. She applies a holistic approach to de-colonize the therapy space, empowering clients to reclaim what healing looks like in their culture while reconnecting clients to the roots of their identity and the sacred wisdom of their ancestors. She is intentional in actively challenging systemic oppression and re-centering the narrative to the intersecting identities of her clients and their salient needs. By harnessing the Ghanian term “Sankofa” meaning "to go back and get", TaLisa expresses the importance of understanding and reaching back into the past to grow in the future, the true reflection of ancestral strength that will not only heal the client but their generations to come. When she is not in the therapy room, TaLisa is a professor at a local university where she teaches Multicultural Counseling Skills. She also hosts a series of trainings and workshops surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion, mental health, higher education and more.
