Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Mariela Romero, a dedicated licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience supporting Hispanic adults, children, and families. My passion is helping you navigate life’s challenges in a warm, culturally affirming space where you feel truly seen and understood. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and relationship issues, using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. My holistic, client-centered approach ensures that our work together is tailored to your unique needs and strengths.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Therapy with me is a collaborative journey where we explore your unique experiences and strengths to foster healing and self-discovery. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques designed to help you build resilience and create meaningful change. I bring warmth, cultural sensitivity, and deep empathy to our sessions, ensuring you feel safe, supported, and empowered to overcome life’s obstacles. My goal is to equip you with practical tools that promote emotional well-being and long-term growth.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you can expect to gain practical coping skills, deepen your self-awareness, and enhance your relationships. Together, we will celebrate progress, navigate challenges, and work toward your personal goals in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you.
