“Jerry was attentive, thorough, and friendly. Asking the right questions led to a timely understanding of my needs. There was not a hint of judgment for any of my challenges. The greatest comfort was setting a month of appointments in real time for my accountability and a predictable schedule, which eased some anxiety about engaging with a new, unfamiliar provider. Jerry was relatable with a “me too” here and there, casual but professional way of noting he’s part of our LGBTQ+ community, and was blunt but gentle on certain critical priorities such as med management and gradual behavioral tweaks. Solutions and action-based but not bossy. I look forward to our future appointments, not dread them as I have with other providers.”

Getting to know Gerardo (Jerry) Romero

Hi, my name is Jerry Romero. I specialize in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy to help individuals navigate a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, addiction, sexual distress, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and bipolar disorder. I take a comprehensive, person-centered approach to care that considers your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. My role is to help you identify your strengths — especially in moments that feel difficult or chaotic — and use them deliberately and sustainably. In our work together, you can expect a space where you’re respected, listened to, and challenged when it’s helpful. We will look directly at what has been keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for change, and build toward a version of yourself that feels confident, grounded, and in control of your own story. My goal is to work alongside you as you create real movement in your life.
