(he/him)
Hello, I'm Jerry. I'm a Licensed Professional Therapist (LPC) practicing in Virginia. I'm originally from Arizona, where I received my undergrad and master's degrees at Grand Canyon University. I've worked in mental health and social services for about eight years. I've had the opportunity to work with people of all ages and backgrounds. I've helped children, young adults, adults, and senior citizens overcome barriers and build self-empowerment.
We will have introductions, review why you sought therapy, discuss goals, and answer any questions you may have. My goal is for you to build rapport with me and feel comfortable expressing yourself.
The feedback I've received from patients is they appreciate the time we take to build a therapeutic alliance. I dedicate the time to understanding the root cause of their issues. We collaborate to identify the techniques they can use and find some relief from each session.
I enjoy having the opportunity to work with people of all backgrounds who are struggling with life transitions, trauma, depression, anxiety, and any other concerns they are facing. With their dedication to improving and becoming their best version, we can work together to achieve their therapeutic goals.
Jerry Romero offers therapy covered by Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Virginia.
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. My approach is grounded in compassion, clarity, and collaboration.
