Elizabeth Ramquist, PhD
Clinical Psychologist

California PSY #28252
Idaho MBTPSY 203986
Indiana HSPP #20042406A
Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C)

​Dr. Elizabeth Ramquist specializes in treating adults who want to pursue a life of health and psychological wellness. For the past 22 years Dr. Ramquist has been working with people who experienced trauma in their childhood or more recently as adults. She holds active licenses as a psychologist in California, Idaho (telehealth), and Indiana. Dr. Ramquist is a member of the American Psychological Association Division 18: Psychologists in Public Service, and Division 56: Trauma Psychology, and a member of the Fire Service Psychology Association.

Dr. Ramquist has additional experience in working with mothers during and following their pregnancies. She is certified through Postpartum Support International to come alongside women in the perinatal period.
 
Dr. Ramquist completed her training in treatment of PTSD at the VA Puget Sound. There, she worked with combat veterans from the Vietnam conflict, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. She went on to practice as a Staff Psychologist at the University of Notre Dame, providing  treatment to individuals with a breadth of concerns, including those who experienced war trauma, traumatic death of a loved one, sexual and physical violence, and childhood abuse and neglect.

Her office is set in the Santa Clarita Valley, the northernmost part of Los Angeles County. There, as well as through telehealth, she works with adults and adolescents in issues of trauma, grief, and women's issues.
 
Dr. Ramquist works collaboratively with her patients to provide interventions that are evidence-based (i.e., scientifically proven to work well with people who have had similar difficulties in life). She has specialized training and certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy and has seen life-giving changes in her patients through utilizing this technique with combat veterans, first responders, witnesses of war crimes, and victims of assault and rape.
 
In addition to practicing clinical psychology, Dr. Ramquist enjoys teaching graduate psychology students, as well as providing trainings and support to local medical teams. She served as Associate Adjunct Professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology for a decade, and has taught undergraduate and graduate psychology courses at several other universities.
