Melissa Romo

Melissa Romo

Therapist

Virtual • California


I work with people in high-stress careers— first responders, military service members, veterans, and the families living with the ripple effects. Loving or being someone in this world isn't easy. You may feel like you're holding it all together, walking on eggshells, or wondering if it's supposed to feel this hard. You're likely running on adrenaline, grit, and dark humor while quietly running on empty. Chronic stress and trauma show up in sleep, mood, patience, faith, and relationships. Needing help isn't something you're used to; you're the one who handles things. But wanting steadiness back doesn't mean you're losing your grip.
