Monique Michelle Romero

My communication style

I try to provide a safe space for my clients—one where there is empathy and respect, and one where people feel heard. I try to be culturally sensitive and try to always focus on people's strengths.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am from a large Mexican family. I've always been interested in why people did what they did, even as a young kid. I saw things growing up and always had a desire to help others who were in need. My past drives me and fuels me to thrive as a therapist for other people of various cultures.

My goals for you

I believe that goal setting is a collaboration between the patient and me, where the client takes the lead. The patient and I will discuss what is reasonable to work on.

Our first session

I will review confidentiality and being a mandated reporter. I will discuss the basics/logistics and then try to get to know who I am working with.

I identify as...

• Female
• Hispanic or Latinx
• Christian
