Daniel Romo, LMFT

Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who combines clinical training and community work to help people feel they matter. Born and raised in Southern California, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University Fullerton and completed a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Trauma and Latinx Studies at Pacific Oaks College. With ten years of experience in mental health settings, he brings both clinical knowledge and a commitment to culturally aware care.

His early work began in residential settings, where he supported at-risk youth as a Mental Health Wellness Specialist, providing life skills and interventions to improve cognitive and emotional functioning. He later completed a trainee placement delivering school-based services and Designated Instructional Services for non-public schools and nonprofit agencies in the Pasadena area in 2015. Those roles informed his approach to individual, family, and group counseling across a wide range of concerns, including depression, psychotic and attention disorders, anger management, substance use, and interpersonal difficulties.

Romo’s nonprofit experience also fostered work with diverse populations, including the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, and fueled a passion for increasing access to therapeutic support. He works from a client-centered and culturally sensitive framework and has training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Family Systems, Object Relations, and Existential and Humanistic approaches. He focuses on collaborative, individualized plans to help people meet short- and long-term goals and improve quality of life.
