Shaina Romero

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 8 years of mental health experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's complexities. My professional background and education have equipped me in treating depression and anxiety, providing evidence-based tools tailored to your unique needs. I utilize a highly collaborative approach, working alongside you as a supportive peer to establish meaningful goals and foster lasting change. Together, we will create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel truly heard and empowered on your journey toward healing.

My therapeutic style is warm, welcoming, and highly participatory, as I believe therapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client. I work with a diverse range of clients, including adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors, tailoring our sessions to your unique needs through an individualized plan. Our work together will be collaborative yet appropriately challenging, blending a solution-oriented focus with modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Ultimately, we will work as a team to uncover practical tools and insights that empower you to reach your personal goals.

In our first session, we will focus heavily on building rapport and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, which serves as the foundation for all our work ahead. I firmly believe in this introductory session as a dedicated space for us to get to know each other, ensuring you feel completely safe and heard. Together, we will begin exploring your unique history and setting clear, collaborative goals for your treatment. You can expect a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment designed to give you a clear sense of direction from day one.
