Rita Romero, PhD

Rita is an absolutely amazing therapist. She is engaging, perceptive, kind, intelligent, thoughtful. I have seen a handful of different therapists throughout my life, and because of that I recognize how important is to find a good «fit». I personally love her style and energy and perspective. She brings up great questions, thoughts, anecdotes, studies, etc., that help me through my own personal experiences. She is supportive and encouraging. I have gone through many changes these past few months and she has been invaluable during this process. Would recommend to anyone!

I would highly recommend Dr. Romero! I first started seeing her about anxiety as well as some eating issues, and she gave me a lot of great things to think about and advice that I will probably carry for the rest of my life. She is incredibly bright, patient, and understanding.

When I first contacted Dr. Romero, my life was filled with anxiety, worry and a constant veil of sadness. Dr. Romero has changed my life. She truly listens. She uses her experience to guide you in building the tools you need to see yourself and the world in a different way. My life is truly better, calmer and happier because I have gone to Dr. Romero.

Dr. Rita Romero is a true professional, a kind and compassionate therapist who has a strong desire to see her clients thrive.
She is totally dedicated to her clients success and she was easily able to access and diagnose my personal psychological challenges. In addition, she assisted me in developing behavior modification plans by helping me set fresh goals and objectives for my life both before, during, and after a very challenging cancer diagnosis. She is a warm and caring person, whose ability to be empathic, listen, and provide clear and sound support was exactly what I needed to during a very difficult time in my life.
She was both my individual therapist, as well as seeing my husband and I as a couple, she has a unique ability to hear both sides of a situation, while being fair and consistent to each of us. We both felt heard, seen, and acknowledged by her – she helped set up our marriage up for success.
Dr. Rita exudes confidence and professionalism and it is my pleasure to recommend her to others.

I was a patient of Dr. Romero while in the military and started seeing her when I started to notice I was becoming more and more depressed in my life and also was having some PTSD symptoms of severe anxiety from noises or images in everyday life that brought me back to my deployment in Afghanistan as a Navy Corpsman or «medic for the Marines» for the layperson. Dr. Romero not only helped me identify why I was reacting this way and how to overcome it but gave me a whole new outlook on life in general. Her lessons will stay with me for my entire life. She also expressed a unique knowledge of our world in the Marine corps which allowed me to feel not only more comfortable talking to her but it gave me the sense she understood details that other providers may overlook. I can’t thank her enough and anyone who has any problems in their life is lucky if they run into Dr. Romero at the time.
