I have had a highly positive experience with Dr. Romero. She's professional, experienced and kind but also matter-of-fact in the best way. Starting therapy is difficult for anyone but she has helped me progress in my own journey so well and made me comfortable with therapy.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
