Male

Hello, my name is Alan Romano. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, and I have been providing therapy to individuals, couples, and groups for over four years in South Florida. I love the work that I do because I get to sit in a room with another human and remember what it means to be human together. Embodiment brings pain, and in our culture, we have yet to evolve, or possibly have devolved, into a conditioned state of not being allowed to share our pain with the world. Conditioning makes us all walk around wearing masks, fracturing our identities and only showing up in any space with fragments of self, hardly ever showing up in our wholeness—our authentic self.

The lack of collective space for the suffering we endure as humans to be experienced and witnessed in a held container is what leads us to suffer internally. That suffering shows up presenting as various diagnoses: Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Substance use... you get the idea. The lens through which I view myself, the world, and my clients is that we all have complex PTSD. We just have had different conditioned responses from our nervous system that have led to different symptoms that become stuck and rigid due to repeated wounds and the need for coping. I do believe that each person in our culture has Complex PTSD; many of them just haven’t been wounded enough to seek care.

If you are someone who is tired of the pain and suffering you’re enduring, I invite you to spend some time unraveling the mystery of self. I often use the Socratic method in my work, meaning I ask a lot of questions to get to the pain that’s underneath the symptoms that you are struggling with. Self-exploration generally comes from being wounded enough to go through the pain of healing. I like to share that healing isn’t easy, but the post-traumatic growth that comes from exploring yourself through wounds and responses could lead to the transformation we all seek throughout life.

I specialize in a wide range of areas including medical issues, physical health, LGBTQIA+ support, anger management, ADHD, dissociative disorders, military and veteran support, traumatic brain injury, life transitions, gender identity, grief and bereavement, sex and intimacy issues, suicidal ideation and self-harming, spirituality, PTSD, family relationships, addiction, sleep disorders, depression, psychosis and schizophrenia, somatic symptom disorder, intimate and romantic relationships, trauma, antisocial behavior, stress, multicultural and diversity issues, phobias, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and eating disorders.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I am here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to uncover the strength and resilience within you.

Who might be a good fit for Alan ?

Clients working through complex trauma and looking for trauma-informed therapy support might engage well with Alan Romano’s approach. His use of thoughtful questioning and emphasis on uncovering underlying pain offers space for self-exploration and healing, especially for those seeking to understand how past wounds shape present challenges.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
