Romina Schnelle, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Hello, my name is Romina Schnelle, and I’m an eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapist and Licensed Marriage and (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)) in California. If you’re here, you might be feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, trauma, or the daily challenges of navigating life. I want you to know that you’re not alone, and I’m here to support you. You may be seeking therapy because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or not yourself. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with past trauma, grief, anxiety, or low self-esteem, and it feels like no matter what you do, you can’t seem to break free from these patterns. You might also be grappling with issues related to your cultural identity, or feeling the weight of societal expectations as a first-generation individual. Or maybe you’re looking for a safe space where you can fully be yourself as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Whatever your reason, it’s valid, and asking for help is okay. My approach to therapy is rooted in my personal experiences and professional training. I’m passionate about using EMDR therapy to help you process and heal from trauma and emotional pain. EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories, so you can heal from the inside out. Here’s how we can work together: From the very first session, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe sharing your story. Your comfort and trust are essential to the healing process. I will take the time to understand your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. Whether you’re dealing with the effects of trauma, working through limiting self-beliefs, or seeking a deeper understanding of your identity, we’ll work at your pace and focus on what matters most to you. EMDR is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I will tailor our work to suit your needs, using techniques and strategies that resonate with you. We’ll work together to identify and target the memories and beliefs holding you back. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights you need to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. We will work on developing coping strategies, enhancing your self-awareness, and building resilience, so you can confidently move forward. Healing is a journey, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Whether you’re seeking to overcome trauma, manage anxiety, or simply find more peace and balance in your life, I’m committed to supporting you with compassion, understanding, and professional expertise. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I invite you to reach out for an intake. We can discuss your goals in depth and how we might work together to create the positive changes you desire. You don’t have to face this journey alone; I’m here to support you.
