About Best Life Counseling Services

Best Life Counseling Services is a women-centered therapy practice based in Upland, California, dedicated to helping women and couples navigate anxiety, burnout, motherhood, and major life transitions. We know how overwhelming it can feel to juggle responsibilities, relationships, and expectations while quietly struggling on the inside. Our mission is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel truly heard, and begin to reconnect with yourself.

Founded by therapist Nadia, a specialist in women’s mental health and perinatal wellness, Best Life Counseling Services was created to offer compassionate, evidence-based care for women at every stage of life. Our team understands the unique emotional challenges that can arise around pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, career shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to “hold everything together.”

We are a trusted practice, verified by Psychology Today , vetted by Zencare and a member of Golden Gate Health.

What We Do

We integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to help you identify unhelpful patterns, build healthier relationships, and develop practical tools to manage stress and anxiety. We also offer specialized perinatal and postpartum support for women navigating fertility concerns, pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood.

Sessions are available in person at our Upland office and via secure telehealth for clients across California, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Fresno. Whether you’re stepping into therapy for the first time or returning after a break, we’ll meet you with empathy, respect, and a collaborative spirit.

At Best Life Counseling Services, we believe you don’t have to carry everything alone. With the right support, you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected—to yourself and to the people you love.

Founder

Nadia Ramsaran, LPCC, Founder
and Director of Best Life Counseling Services

Hello! I want to thank you so much for taking the time to join me here and would like to introduce myself a little further… I am Nadia Ramsaran a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. I am a second-generation West Indian American, my parents immigrated from Guyana and I’m also a first-generation college graduate.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Redlands ( Go Bulldogs!) and Master of Science in Counseling from Loma Linda University in 2014. I have spent the last several years of my career working as a school counselor and mental health counselor in elementary and middle school, in addition to working in community mental health agencies and group practices.

I have spent the last several years of my career working as a school counselor in both the elementary and middle school level, as well as working in community mental health agencies and group practices.

Prior to discovering my path as a therapist, I was pursuing a career in medicine and quickly realized I was not cut out for a life in the medical field. As I struggled with the decision of continuing a path that I could not see myself being happy with, I decided to use my time in college to also pursue courses outside of my set premed schedule, and this is where I discovered my passion for human sciences and behavior! Needless to say, the rest is history.

What I Love About Therapy

What I find to be so compelling about therapy is the ability to join clients in their most vulnerable, difficult moments as well as to be there for their top of the mountain experiences. I love being a change agent and working to invoke, inspire, and instill hope in others.

Our Clients

Take a look at what our clients have to say about our work and
dedication that keeps them coming back for more.

I was initially apprehensive, but turned hopeful when Nadia approached our work together with compassion, patience, and perception. She shared her observations and posed challenging questions without judgment, which gave me the space to grow consciously and subconsciously.

BLC Client

My loved ones have seen a positive change in the way that I approach challenging situations at home, at work, and in life. The best part about working with Nadia is knowing that I can be honest, and for better or worse, she will continue to work with me on a path towards a higher level of healing and self-discovery.

BLC Client

A friend encouraged me to try teletherapy when I found myself in an unexpected state of despair following a failed, dysfunctional relationship.
