About Monica Encina-Romero, LCSW

Therapy for Those Who’ve Had to Be Strong for Everyone

You’ve spent years taking care of others while putting your own needs last. Therapy here is a space to slow down, release what you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with who you are beneath the roles and expectations.

What I Support You With
Trauma & Life Transitions – gently working through past wounds and major changes
Immigration & Identity Struggles – making sense of who you are amid culture, migration, and responsibility
Stress, Anxiety & Burnout – supporting your nervous system when life feels overwhelming
Immigration Evaluations – Culturally rooted mental health assessments
EMDR Therapy – support for experiences that your mind and body haven’t been able to let go of
Therapist Support – support for experiences that your mind and body haven’t been able to let go of

Why Clients Choose to Work With Me
✔ I’m a first-generation Latina and a mother of six, and I understand survival, responsibility, and carrying others
✔  I offer therapy in Spanish and English, so you can express yourself fully
✔  My work integrates EMDR with holistic, body-based practices. I’m certified in yoga and a Reiki master, and I draw on these tools when helpful to support grounding and reconnection with the body.
✔ Virtual sessions in AL, FL, KS, MD, MO, NC, NY, PA & TX
✔ I offer flexible pricing and support with out-of-network reimbursement through Mentaya.

✨ Healing isn’t a luxury—it’s your foundation for the life you deserve. You don’t have to carry this alone. Therapy can be a space where you feel seen, supported, and able to breathe again.
