My name is Christian Romero, I have been in the field of psychology for over 20 years. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is building a strong therapeutic relationship that allows individuals to process, heal and make safer healthier choices for themselves and their families. I have experience working with adults and children from ages 8-59 y.o. experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approaches are CBT, Solution Focused, Strength-Based, and Client-Centered.

Life can be difficult to navigate at times. When hardships get thrown at us, we may get flooded with emotion and feel at a loss on how to deal with them head on. During these times, we may find ourselves withdrawing from others or lashing out towards our loved ones. When we get trapped in our negative thoughts, we may feel like there’s no escape. Talking to someone about these challenges and hardships can be the beginning of the healing process. I provide a non-judgmental, safe environment for my clients to express themselves. I encourage clients to share their story in order to help them discover alternative options/perspectives

I'm Christiane Swartz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth counseling from the rural North Bay area of California. Are you feeling stuck or hopeless, and powerless to make change?

Whatever suffering brings you here, you have found a safe space to move toward healing.

You’ve been working your butt off for as long as you can remember. You’ve collected degrees, credentials, businesses, money, and toys. Everything was perfect until one day, it wasn’t. You felt anxious, sadness, and frustration as your emotions got the best of you. You started snapping at people as your relationships headed down the drain. You can’t remember the last time you felt happy. You aren’t you anymore. This isn't the life you want. You want better. You want to make a change but you don't know how or who to turn to.

My therapeutic approach for practice is a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused therapy to provide education on how individuals’ thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns might affect self-reflecting and relationships with others. Another key element of my practice is to highlight how trauma can affect individuals’ viewpoints toward future goals. I am also fully aware of the importance of tailoring my treatment modalities to meet each individual's specific needs, which is why I use a client-centered approach. Together we will focus on breaking unhelpful patterns that hinder growth and quality of life.

Throughout life we receive and form messages about ourselves that cause shame, separation, and suffering. Those messages often follow the intricate and sometimes immense impact of trauma and other adverse life experiences on our psyche, behavior, and relationships. Receive therapy aimed at restoring you to truth, to others, and to healthy living. I will apply one or multiple highly respected psychotherapeutic approaches to your recovery. The goal is to weave deep insights with useful skills and the strength of a therapeutic bond that can help you stand firm under the pressure of those false messages, held up by A Better Word.
