Romeo discovered his interest in psychology while in college, although he was already drawn to healing professions: “Honestly, when I first went to college my major was business. I decided I wanted to help others so I changed to pre-med. My last 2 classes in the premed program were psychology courses. This changed everything for me.”

He also draws from DBT, client-centered, systems, existential and experiential theories as he helps clients and families find solutions and come together. He is described by his colleagues as someone who “pushes his kids and clients to excel” and is “very active” in their therapy.
