My practice is for all ages. I work well with adults who are ready to look inward in order to find a new path forward out of patterns that keep them trapped. Freedom comes through a shared examination and expression of one's experience. I work with children struggling with overwhelming feelings, emotional outbursts, or other troubling behaviors. I offer a warm and supportive space for play therapy in which I listen carefully and serve as guide and translator of troubling feelings and behaviors. I enjoy helping parents understand concerning behaviors and connect deeply with their children.

Gilbert Romero-Mewharter
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC
Tacoma, WA 98402
You may look like you have things together on the outside, but inside you’re dealing with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, self-criticism, or feeling like you’re always trying to keep up. Many people I work with feel stuck in stress, emotional exhaustion, or navigating big life transitions and want relief that actually lasts. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s really going on underneath those patterns. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and CBT in a practical, tailored way so you’re not just coping better—you’re understanding yourself differently and moving toward feeling more grounded,.

I know you want your child or teen to feel understood, supported, and comfortable in therapy. My hope is to create a space where they can be themselves, explore what they’re feeling, and know they don’t have to have all the answers. We can take things one step at a time, together. I especially enjoy working with children and teens experiencing anxiety, big emotions, self-esteem concerns, life changes, or difficult experiences. Through play therapy and creative approaches, I meet them where they are and give them space to process and communicate in ways that make sense to them.

I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those recovering from substance use, ex-convicts, individuals who have experienced homelessness, combat veterans, victims of sexual assault, and at-risk youth. Additionally, I have supported individuals without criminal records, severe trauma, or military experience. Life can be challenging, and everyone needs help sometimes. I treat each client as a unique individual, focusing on their personal story rather than their diagnosis. My goal is to help people achieve balance and equilibrium in daily life.

Sometimes the closer you are to a problem, the harder it is to see. Unfortunately an inevitability of life is we can’t have all of the answers. As a clinical intern, I see this as an opportunity for us to embark on a journey together to find some solutions. I love working with many different kinds of clients. But I’m passionate about representing communities that don’t have a strong voice in the mental health space. Some of these populations are emergency responders, police officers, firefighters, nurses and many more. Mental health is not something we have to deal with alone; together we can find new ways of being in this world.

Tacoma, WA 98402
Psychotherapy is an intimate undertaking and a very personal journey. In my work, I recognize that each person comes with a unique personal history and life circumstances as well as unique hopes, dreams, and desires. Most of us, most of the time, can be resourceful and creative in coping with life challenges. There are times, however, when internal or external pressures get the best of us, leaving us depleted, overwhelmed, confused, or unwell. I offer a safe space where the work of self-exploration and transformation can occur, and where healing and the journey toward self-acceptance and well-being can take place.

Counselor, LMHC
Tacoma, WA 98402
For many of us, when seeking security and connection, in our past we may have been challenged by traumas, adversities and stressful situations in general. This can cause us to develop adaptations that were useful at the time but may be ineffective now and hold us back from realizing our full potential.

I am a daughter of immigrants; a daughter of the diaspora; a wounded healer; an intellectual, spiritual, and queer Chingonx. These are a few identities that influence how I interact / experience the world around me, and stories attached to them: past and present. In my therapeutic work, I continue to work towards decolonization of both my healing practices and myself. My healing work is inherited; I come from a lineage of people seeking healing. Professionally, I started healing work with young people as a case manager, advocate, and mental health counselor in 2016.

As a trauma informed therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where my clients can share their stories without the feeling of judgement. I aim to walk alongside my clients as they process hardships, anxieties, growth, victories, and change. I also recognize how overwhelming and paralyzing life’s unknowns can feel, and how trying to navigate these unknowns can create fear in our present day lives. Together, we will develop strategies and goals that help navigate through these unknowns and work toward moving past these fears so that you can feel grounded, secure, and ultimately present in your day to day life.
