Hello! I'm Mary "Katie" Romley. I'm an LPCC in the state of California specializing in therapy work with adults and adolescents. Do you ever feel like because of certain life experiences, you struggle in your daily life or relationships today? I enjoy helping people to find more of a sense of safety, within themselves. I like to make sure that my clients can develop a sense of trust when working with me. I love working with young adults (18-25) and also people going through retirement life changes.

Please consult this therapist first to see if she's able to provide this documentation for you as some may not be possible due to training and specialization requirements.

I specialize in panic disorders, depression, bipolar and disordered eating. Not only do I help treat these disorders, but I help clients completely be rid of them! Believe it or not, panic, anxiety and depression don’t have to be life-sentences, and you don’t just have to just learn “coping skills”. These disorders are symptoms of a root problem that can be undone in therapy! I have helped many people break free of their lifelong anxiety and depressive symptoms in just a few months. Therapy can really work if you have a competent therapist, who does more than just listen to your problems! I love supporting my clients to make mental and practical changes that allow them to finally have the peace they’ve been looking for. Be encouraged – it’s absolutely possible! You are not alone in your struggle, and you don’t have to stay where you are! Let this be the day you take that first step – to become the person you were made to be and fulfill the unique calling in your life.

Grief is a deeply personal experience, with no set timeline or predictable path. It can arise after the loss of a loved one, an animal companion, a relationship, or even a shift in identity due to illness or life transitions. Left unaddressed, grief can impact your emotional well-being, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. As a therapist, I offer two areas of specialized support. The first is grief counseling—providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can process your loss and find meaning in your healing. The second focuses on helping individuals navigate symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorder, often brought on by significant life changes or chronic stress. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're overwhelmed by sadness, struggling with motivation, or feeling disconnected from others, therapy can help you regain clarity and emotional balance. I intentionally maintain a small caseload to provide personalized, attentive care. My goal is to offer a safe, grounded environment where you feel supported and empowered to move forward at your own pace.

Do you feel that life is more difficult than it should be? Are you feeling overburdened by worry or pulled down by hopelessness? These feelings are common and symptoms of anxiety and depression do a good job of making us feel pessimistic about getting past such struggles. If you're willing to be honest and have an idea of how you'd like your life to be different, therapy can help you overcome many personal challenges. It is normal to have many questions (Where do I start? What do I say?) and to feel overwhelmed by the thought of starting therapy. By far the best predictor of success is how comfortable a person feels when talking with their therapist. While there is no way to guarantee a person and a therapist are a good fit, it is best to keep this in mind throughout treatment.
