Anxiety is so uncomfortable! The mind keeps racing, the body’s so tense, and the worrying never stops. With respectful, skilled guidance, you can successfully shift thoughts, neural pathways, behavior and emotions, putting you (rather than the anxiety) in the forefront of your personal and professional lives. I will bring compassion, respect and unique insight into our work together. Selected as one of the Three Best Rated Psychologists in San Diego in 2022, ,2023, 2024 and 2025 through patient reviews and Woman of Distinction in 2023, I bring 25 years of experience to our therapeutic process and your transformation.
Board Certified as a PTSD clinician, with special expertise and training with evidenced based training in treatment of trauma, and anxiety, you will know you are receiving the latest cutting edge approaches to your particular challenges. I look forward to working with you. Rita Romero, PhD Psy 14190
I bring special sensitivity to ethnic differences with my Hispanic heritage and am extremely familiar with military culture and 12 step recovery programs. I have been fortunate to have trained with great masters in the field of psychology and now have a level of my own expertise and mastery that I believe can benefit you.
