Helen Umie Ro, LMFT

Helen Umie Ro, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Helen Umie! I'm Helen Umie Ro, licensed marriage and family therapist #118531. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. Therapy is a supportive relationship where we learn more about who you are, discover solutions to your struggles, and celebrate your triumphs. I bring my education and experience to offer you food for thought so you can pivot from unhelpful thinking and behaviors toward a more nourishing life path. My approach Gestalt therapy is a holistic approach where we explore the different parts of you and know you're more than any one part. You're the expert of your own experience, and I join you to see where we are in your journey. I first use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a top-down approach to learn HOW you function, WHAT your needs are, identify WHEN you're using unhelpful thinking styles, and practice different methods for meeting your needs. I also use a bottom-up approach, focusing on the mind-body connection, helping you become aware of different parts of yourself to answer WHY you are the way you are. My focus One of my favorite words is "stuck." A person moving along their path may suddenly find themselves stuck, unsure how to move forward or which direction to take, just one step away from changing their trajectory toward their best life. Anyone willing to try talk therapy is courageous-not because I'm intimidating, lol, but because of the stigma about therapy. My communication style The tone/environment is created by the client, and like double-dutch jump rope, I find a way to join. Clients need to hear themselves think, be asked questions they didn't know they needed to answer, learn to be comfortable with intimate dialogue, and honor their feelings. I bring my whole self-sometimes funny, sometimes intensely insightful, often educational, and 100% authentically curious and nerdy. My journey to therapy I first started with my own therapy, and it helped me so much.
