Hi there, I'm Lucy! Hello! My name is Lucy Romo and I am a CA Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a passion for helping adults ages 18+ navigate individual and interpersonal life transitions. My ultimate goal is to help you understand yourself better so that you can have an improved quality of life and improved relationships. My approach My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques, fostering a safe and supportive space for personal growth and healing. I enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic Therapeutic Approaches. My focus I specialize in working with a diverse range of clients, including those dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. My expertise also extends to supporting individuals facing challenges related to infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences. Additionally, I have a keen interest in couples therapy, helping partners enhance their connections and navigate the complexities of relationships. My aim is to provide a warm and inclusive therapeutic environment where clients can find healing and growth. My communication style In my therapy sessions, I cultivate a warm and comforting environment, akin to speaking with a trusted friend, albeit with a professional demeanor. My approach is empathetic and compassionate, creating a safe haven where clients can openly share their pain and concerns. I strive to foster a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported in their journey toward healing and personal growth. It is my priority to ensure that each client feels valued and respected throughout our therapeutic relationship. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up in an environment that could have greatly benefited from therapeutic support. As I entered into therapy myself, I recognized the priceless value of having a safe space to process life's challenges and find ways to heal.
