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.
