For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

As someone who has been in and out of therapy for 16 years, I understand opening up to someone new can feel overwhelming and daunting. It's okay to feel uncomfortable or nervous. Talking about hard things is, well...hard. I'm proud of you, and you can do this! 

Hello! I'm Lucy Romo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing remote counseling services to residents of California, Nevada, and Texas. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, Long Beach, and hold clinical licenses in CA, NV, and TX. 

It's a conversation, you can share as much or as little as you like.

I have been practicing since 2015. Trained in EMDR, CBT, CPT

Therapy is a safe space to explore and address challenges without judgment. I understand it can feel daunting, but taking that first step is powerful. Therapy can offer new tools for handling life’s difficulties, and my focus is always on listening, understanding, and empowering you on your journey.

Hello, I’m Alexandra McReynolds, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. With over 36 years of experience across various healthcare settings, I am deeply committed to delivering empathetic, holistic care to individuals of all ages. My approach integrates life skills training, trauma-informed methods, and medication management when necessary, allowing me to craft personalized treatment plans that empower patients on their wellness journey. I work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams and stay current on evidence-based practices, ensuring top-quality care for every patient. In my free time, I enjoy needlepointing, horse riding, paddleboarding, and learning tap dancing with my spouse. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where patients feel understood and supported in their mental health journey. Treatment philosophy: I believe mental health is essential to overall wellness. My treatment philosophy centers on listening, understanding, and creating individualized care plans. I combine life skills training, trauma recovery, and medication when necessary, focusing on empowering my patients with tools for resilience. Through a compassionate approach, I work to foster healing and well-being while supporting each patient’s unique journey.

It’s ok to be nervous or scared about asking for help. This is a huge first step and perhaps one of the hardest to take. Asking for help doesn’t mean your weak or incapable, in fact in means the opposite. It means that you are strong and know both your strengths and limitations. No one is perfect or superman, we all have our own struggles and to continue to grow, help from others is necessary.

Like the name of my practice, I believe individuals are also capable of blooming throughout even the most difficult of circumstances. I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma. This can appear as feelings of guilt, feeling like you're dragging through life, future tripping, or thoughts taking up residence in your mind rent free. During our sessions together we will work towards achieving your goals. This process will allow you to decompress from life’s daily struggles while learning skills to find your peace and happiness. As a therapist it is my goal to help individuals have a better understanding of themselves, process past pain, and feel confident in moving through life. Feel free to reach out to schedule a free consultation by visiting my website or by calling me. I look forward to seeing you embrace life as you want it.

Personally, I will use therapy for the rest of my life. I find it helps me to process unconscious material, to build up my core of robust vulnerability, and to level-up my life. If I wasn't in therapy I would be spraying unconscious material into my work and relationships and staying stuck in the same unhelpful patterns. With therapy, my life keeps getting simpler, richer, bigger, and more connected. Therapy also helps me to stay in touch with the poetic quality of my life and the mythological arc or hero's journey that I am on. If I can stay in touch with this quality, my story becomes more heroic over time.

Do you feel burned out or stuck in a life that no longer works for you? Does your body feel pained, exhausted, or overly anxious. Do you feel like a phony or that the real you hasn't yet emerged. Well, you've only been this age once. Maybe it's time to give your life an overhaul. Somatic psychology is a cutting-edge approach that works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a big meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside. The core of my work uses Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented approach grounded in neuroscience and the latest in trauma-informed research. It works to discharge bound survival energy, disrupt tension patterns, and reset and revitalize the nervous system. Somatic therapy pairs extremely well with psychedelic work to accelerate the process of healing. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment patterns, and a psychodynamic approach into my work. My main areas of specialization are: - Authentic Career Adaptation - Attachment Strategies in Relationships - Chronic Pain and Health Conditions - Psychedelic Integration - Owning your Identity (LGBT and other) Whether you are new to therapy or have spent years talking about your problems without improvement, you may have been using the wrong approach. If you'd like to learn more about my approach and why it can be more effective than talk therapy, visit my website and schedule a free 30-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

Therapy is a safe space where you are heard without judgment. It’s an empowering step toward healing and growth, and I’m here to support you.
