My name is Rita Romero and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. I help clients manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, relationship stress, dual diagnoses and mood disorders. I treat both adolescent and adult clients. My approach to therapy is specific to my client's needs. My person-centered approach helps clients and I build a mutual understanding of the therapeutic process that best serves them. The most common therapeutic modalities I use include Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. My communication style is genuinely authentic and person oriented. I strive to create a safe environment for my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I also pride myself on my ability to empathize and listen without any judgment. During our first session, you can expect to spend time talking about how you've been feeling recently and what has lead you to therapy. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping us get an idea of where to go from there. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
