Get to know Dr. Romano, Life Mastery Therapist
Dr. Romano is a licensed psychologist (Immaculata University, 2016) with nearly three decades of experience helping individuals cultivate life mastery, emotional regulation, and sustainable success. She specializes in supporting high-functioning, high-achieving, and high-profile professionals who face challenges such as perfectionism, burnout, imposter syndrome, and executive functioning difficulties including ADHD and concentration challenges.
Grounded in trauma-informed care, Dr. Romano integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and person-centered approaches to foster resilience and emotional balance. Her work emphasizes the four foundational DBT skills—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—helping clients manage intense emotions, navigate stress, and maintain healthy relationships while pursuing excellence.
Dr. Romano is experienced in working with both “big T” and “little t” trauma—the former referring to acute or life-threatening events such as abuse, accidents, or loss, and the latter to the chronic, cumulative impact of experiences like invalidation, neglect, or persistent stress. She recognizes that both forms of trauma can shape identity, self-worth, and behavior, and integrates gentle, evidence-based interventions to promote healing and reconnection with a sense of safety and self-trust.
Her therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral frameworks. She tailors treatment to the unique needs of each client, supporting those managing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and the emotional demands of high-performance lifestyles. Clients who work with Dr. Romano gain greater self-awareness, emotional agility, and psychological flexibility. Through her compassionate and strategic use of DBT and CBT techniques, she helps clients quiet the inner critic, enhance executive functioning, and cultivate resilience in both work and life. Her work moves beyond symptom relief—guiding clients toward authentic growth, emotional mastery, and a grounded, values-driven life that integrates success with genuine well-being.
Dr. Romano is here to help you find your unique path to healing and to provide you with the tools you need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose.
