Dr. Isabella Romero

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, or codependency? I have helped adults and teens learn to feel empowered to improve their mental health, rather than remain stuck in unhelpful coping cycles, for the past 8 years in my training as a clinical psychologist. I support my clients to develop insight into their problems and learn to feel safe again in their mind, body, and relationships. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their genuine, confident and happier selves through personalized, effective, and consistent therapy.

My therapeutic style is warm, curious, and grounded in a genuine connection. I strive to help my clients reconnect with the version of themselves they long for, while creating a safe and supportive space for the more painful or less desirable parts of self they are working to heal. Together, we work to develop practical tools from evidence based approaches such as healthy coping strategies, boundary-setting skills, emotional regulation techniques, communication skills, mindfulness practices, and self-compassion exercises to help overcome the barriers that may be holding you back from living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

In the first therapy session, you can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you will feel safe sharing your experiences and concerns. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy, identify personal goals and strategies to achieve desired change, and begin developing insight into the patterns or challenges that may be holding you back. Within a few sessions, my clients tend to develop healthier coping patterns, greater self—awareness, more capacity for self-compassion and a sense of hopefulness about the future.
