Getting to know Teresa Romero

Hi! I am Teresa Romero, and I go by Terrie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from Walla Walla University's Social Work campus. I believe in your strengths and meeting you on your level and where you are in the issue. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with chronic diseases, chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. My approach I understand chronic illnesses and chronic pain and the seemingly endless cycle they drag you through, creating more depression and anxiety. I utilize Cognitive Behavior, Mindfulness, Gestalt, and Strengths approaches to refocus your thoughts and energy. My focus I am very comfortable working with adult clients with chronic diseases such as end-stage renal disease, chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. My communication style I have empathy and care about you, your condition, and how it affects your day-to-day life and keeps you from having the lifestyle you want and deserve. You will be heard and understood. Our sessions will be like talking to your friend. We will laugh together; we may even cry together. I get it-I've been there. My journey to mental healthcare I am a former chronic pain patient. I'm one of the lucky ones in that a neurosurgeon was able to locate and remove the source of my chronic pain, but this took about 13 years. In my “prior” life, before the pain put me out of a job and onto disability, I was an Environmental Scientist. I hated being on disability, and in a conversation with my doctor, I just blurted out that I was going to go to school and counsel chronic pain patients. I have slightly amended that to also working with clients with chronic diseases such as end-stage renal disease. Chronic conditions affect the entire family-missed sporting events, missed concerts, missed graduations, and other missed family events. The constant hope that you feel “good enough” to do something. The nagging feeling of “letting my family down again.”
