ABOUT ME
Hello. My name is Barbara.
I have been practicing as a clinical psychologist for over 33 years in both metropolitan and rural settings.
I believe everyone has strengths they can bring to resolving the problems they face. Our primary source of strength and direction is God. Your faith is an important component in lasting healing.
I believe in treating individuals with respect and dignity; I seek to understand your unique perspective on life and identify the best ways to achieve the change you desire.
I have formal training and experience in the practice of clinical psychology.
I also bring my background in Christian ministry and pastoral care to the work I do.
I use a variety of different approaches and I will remain sensitive to what does and does not work for you as an individual. I am comfortable with incorporating prayer, spiritual reading/devotions, and other spiritual practices within the context of your therapy.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

A very good fit for me. She is compassionate and empathizes with me
She has outstanding expertise. Great personality. Responsive. Receptive. Asks all the right questions. Listens. I cannot say enough positive about her and I have zero negative comments whatsoever.

She’s been a huge help!!

Dr. Romfo is so kind and caring. She messages periodically throughout the week, which I appreciate. I really believe in Dr. Romfo. She is very knowledgeable and believe she will help me overcome my obstacles. Thank you so much for your kindness!!!
Dr. Romfo has been an excellent person to have in my corner. She is always kind, open, and patient. With her, I feel like I have been able to make real progress with a number of interrelated issues and concerns. When I started with Dr. Romford, it was very hard for me to feel hopeful, but now I am working hard towards better living and achieving dreams I had stopped daring to even think about before. I rarely need a lot more than a safe space with a patient listener to unravel my thoughts and get the bottom of my issues, and for this Barbara can't be beat!
Dr. Romfo is wonderful. She is compassionate and caring and checks in with me almost daily to see how I am doing. She listens carefully and offers her expertise when needed.
Dr. Romfo is very skilled and uses her skill set and expertise to engage and collect useful information that will help in healing. It appears that she does want to help and she understands every one is different so a cookie style approach will not get the job done for everyone. She is good at listening and clarifying to make sure she understands what is being conveyed. She has good eye contact during video sessions and she uses a soft, empathic voice. Overall, I feel that she is a very talented and skilled therapist/ psychologist, and I’m happy to have her be my therapist.
Barbara is very understanding and asks me very good questions that make me think and I appreciate that. She is very supportive and understanding.
Dr. Romfo is a good listener. She is very intuitive and really helped me to get off to a good start with my therapy.
Dr. Romfo is a very thoughtful, compassionate person who helped me out a lot! I for sure recommend her to anyone needing help or advice.
I love Dr Romeo! I always feel better after talking to her. She continues to give me good advice. Even if I don’t always like what she is recommending.
I don't mind being asked but wouldn't it make more sense to wait until you spoken with a therapist for a couple of sessions?
Dr Romfo is highly competent and deeply compassionate. She was always respectful, detailed and professional. I found our sessions very helpful.
Dr. Romfo is a wonderful therapist who truly listens to and understands me, and I feel comfortable telling her anything!
I appreciate that she sends prayers and really listens.
Dr. Romfo has been great! She is very engaged in our conversations and asks a lot of good questions. Sometimes I don't know how to talk about things and she makes it easier for me!
Dr. Romfo is the best! She is so supportive of me, thinks of me and prays for me. She is such a blessing!
Dr. Romfo is a wonderful counselor who listens and provides great feedback. I feel heard and understood. She follows up consistently and responds to me quickly when I journal or message. I really look forward to our sessions❤️
