Getting to know Joan Romeo
Hi there, I'm Joan!
I have been working in mental health for nearly 20 years. I spent 15 years working with the most seriously mentally ill patients and in-crisis services. After I retired 2 years ago, I chose to do teletherapy in order to reach those populations that have been underserved. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco.
My approach
I take a holistic approach to therapy which includes nutrition, mindfulness, play, and self-care. My usual approach is to start with mindfulness and building coping skills and integrate CBT into the process.
My focus
I like people who are willing to do the work it takes to improve their lives. I also like to use humor and play.
My communication style
I use a direct, nonjudgmental approach to therapy mixed with warmth and humor. I believe giving someone your full attention is a great gift.
My journey to therapy
I was drawn to therapy after reading *Man's Search for Meaning* by Viktor Frankl. I strongly believe in the human spirit's ability to overcome challenges and find purpose in life.
My goals for you
I want you to not need me-to learn skills to be your own therapist and recognize your dysfunctional thoughts and correct them on your own.
My first session with you
My first session usually involves learning some quick coping skills that can be used immediately. I go into the hows and whys of therapy and what to expect from therapy.
