About the provider

Romina M. Schnelle, MA, (CA) LMFT 123169 (NV) CP5490-R

Hi, thank you so much for taking a moment to stop by. Are you feeling lost, unmotivated, having trouble focusing, and dealing with memories that won't seem to go away? Have you felt a knot in your stomach when facing new social situations or felt like everyone else somehow has it all figured out? Maybe your friends, family, and partners have noticed something is different in you lately. You are not alone, and you don't have to tough it out yourself when support is available. My name is Romina M. Schnelle, and I am a Licensed Couples and Family Therapist (LMFT 123169) in California and (CP5490-R) in Nevada. I earned my MA in Marital and Family Therapy from Alliant International University in December 2017, and I am an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist as of March 2023. I am a professional member in good standing at various professional associations, such as EMDRIA, PsiChi, CAMFT, and AAMFT. Since 2015, I have worked with people who were hurting and feeling a lot of what you might be feeling right now, and through therapy and hard work, they obtained the support and healing they needed to feel happier in their lives. I started this practice to provide online services for people like you who need someone to talk to to help make sense of all the feelings and life changes that may be surfacing and to help share tools that can serve you moving forward. It would be a privilege to help you in your life journey, so please feel free to contact us with any questions or if you would like to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
