Getting to know Cristina Romero

Hi there, I'm Cristina! I am licensed in California with 6 years of professional experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have helped clients ages 0-65 with parenting issues, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career difficulties. I work with clients to create an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. My approach Client-Centered Therapy: demonstrating positive regard, congruence, and empathy; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: understanding the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; Motivational Interviewing: resolving ambivalence using individuals' values and concerns to elicit change; Solution-Focused Therapy: accessing clients' strengths and resources to find solutions; Multicultural Inclusion: recognizing culture as a fundamental factor. My focus I've worked with children and adolescents ages 0-19, as well as older adults struggling with life choices, past experiences, and family dynamics. I am comfortable treating individuals with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and anger management. My communication style I provide a soft, safe place where clients can be vulnerable. Working with me feels like a safe, fun environment where I meet families where they are. My journey to mental healthcare I wanted to help others understand what is going on, learn about themselves, and develop coping skills to get through hardships. I also want to advocate to prevent severe mental illness. As a minority, I know mental health is often not talked about, and I want to help families understand its importance and share my knowledge. My goals for you To be direct and understanding of what clients want to get out of services. My first session with you To be ready to share about themselves and ask any questions they have.
