About

Hi. I am Kim Romen, the founder of Family Perspectives, LLC. I had worked as a psychotherapist and crisis therapist between 1999 and 2008 (and as a mental health worker and in other capacities from 1994-1999). After having seen the benefits of doing therapy in client’s homes and seeing the need for in-home therapy in the private arena, I decided to open Family Perspectives, LLC in 2007. Family Perspectives, LLC offers more rare options than just in-home counseling, though, such as weekend hours, male and female therapists who can work together on cases if so desired, and expertise with children, families, and couples. I started Family Perspectives with the idea that humans each have a different perspective on things and each perspective has value. Yes, there are times when I help my clients see that their actions are not healthy, but so much of the time I see my job as trying to help the client identify and communicate their needs and help them process what they can do to best achieve those goals. I’ve had clients tell me that they appreciated that I spend the time to try to get to understand them and help direct them from the point where they are at, not just giving them advice of what I feel is best for them. I have had other clients tell me that they enjoyed the balance of process verses practical tools that they received from sessions. Many clients tell me that although therapy can be difficult, they start feeling better right away, many times even at the first session. I have regular conversations with my clients about their comfort level in sessions and what works for them. We plan out measurable goals together from the beginning of therapy so that we can both be sure that you are making good progress and if you are not, we will be able to look at what needs to happen in order for you to make greater progress and/or if the goals need to be reworked. I take great interest in that my clients meet their goals and get what they need out of therapy.
