Hey there! My name is Katherine Tromello (TRO-Mello), and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified ADHD therapist based in sunny San Diego, CA, and the Senior Clinical Supervisor at Futsi Therapy. My journey as a therapist began through my own experience as a high-achieving individual with ADHD. My college athletic experience highlighted the need for therapy that addresses the whole being—relationships, emotional patterns, neurotype, and performance—to best support high achievers in their goals.
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
I describe myself as an integrative therapist, blending various theoretical orientations to meet the unique needs of each client. My practice is grounded in psychodynamic, relational, and attachment-focused approaches, meaning I help clients explore their past experiences, build strong relationships, and understand their emotional bonds. I emphasize working with the nervous system and provide Brainspotting, having recently completed Phase One training, and offer equine-assisted psychotherapy. I am LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming.
I offer individual telehealth services throughout California. My expertise lies in working with ADHD, anxiety/depression, executive dysfunction, relationship issues/dynamics (including navigating parenting), and performance issues in sports and work environments. As a queer and highly sensitive person with lived experience of ADHD, I am attuned to the unique challenges faced by my clients.
In therapy, we will explore your own process and past experiences, collaboratively identifying goals to empower you on your journey. I educate my clients on how their brains work, finding ways to engage with the world that are tailored to their personal needs and goals. Committed to continued education, I utilize the most up-to-date, research-informed strategies to help clients develop skills for nervous system regulation and overall well-being.
Therapy should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported in a non-judgmental way. My style is highly interactive, providing feedback and skills to help you feel empowered as you navigate your therapy journey. Outside of the therapy room, you can find me taking care of my horse, working out, spending time with my husband and two sons, and being a proud Swiftie! I look forward to hearing from you and embarking on this journey of healing and growth together.
