Meet Joselyn Romero, LCSW

Gender affirming therapist in Salt Lake City, UT

Virtual Therapy available throughout Utah

Hi, I’m Joselyn. I help adults navigate gender transitions, explore identity, and heal from trauma so they can feel more at home in themselves and build a life that genuinely feels like their own.

I’m a Trans/Nonbinary, BIPOC therapist and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. This work is personal to me. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience into the therapy room, and I understand how identity, culture, family expectations, and societal messages can shape the way we see ourselves.

I know what it’s like to live a life that doesn’t feel authentic, to question where you belong, to long for chosen family and community where you can be yourself. You may be questioning who you are, navigating a transition, healing from trauma, or realizing that the ways you learned to survive no longer fit the person you’re becoming.

Therapy with me is direct, collaborative, and real. We’ll get curious about the different parts of you, unpack old narratives, and understand your patterns and protective responses with compassion rather than judgment.

You don’t have to have yourself figured out before you walk through the door. All parts of you are welcome here.

How To Get Started with Therapy:

  1. Connect With Us

    Schedule a free consultation or reach out to our team. We'll learn more about what you're looking for, answer your questions, and help connect you with a therapist who aligns with your needs, goals, and preferences.

  2. Schedule Your First Session

    Once you've found the right fit, we'll help you schedule your first appointment, review insurance or payment options, and complete any necessary paperwork. We offer both in-person and telehealth appointments to make care more accessible.

  3. Begin Your Healing Journey

    Your first sessions are an opportunity to share your story, explore your goals, and build a trusting relationship with your therapist. Whether you're navigating trauma, identity, relationships, or life transitions, we'll meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you.
