Dr. Kelly Romirowsky PsyD
Founder of Philadelphia Assessment and Counseling LLCDr. Kelly Romirowsky, specializes in finding what others missed. Diagnostic precision, evidence-based treatment, and a plan built around your neurobiology and your life — not a generic protocol.
With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Kelly helps individuals understand what's actually driving anxiety, OCD, trauma-related symptoms, perimenopause-related mental health concerns, postpartum challenges, PMS/PMDD, and persistent emotional distress.
As a licensed psychologist and Board-Certified Telemental Health Provider, Dr. Kelly provides comprehensive assessment and evidence-based treatment both in person and through secure telehealth. Her approach is direct, strategic, and individualized, helping clients gain clarity and what will be most effective moving forward.
The reason anxiety persists is often not because you've tried the wrong techniques or haven't worked hard enough. More often, the underlying cause of the symptoms has never been accurately identified. Dr. Kelly specializes in uncovering the factors others miss, determining what's actually generating the anxiety, and creating a targeted treatment plan designed to address the source of the problem—not just the symptoms.
—MY APPROACH
Evidence-based Therapy.
A treatment plan built around your actual diagnosis, neurobiology, and life circumstances not a generic protocol ensuring care is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Available between sessions when something can't wait.
Therapy with me is focused on helping you feel more in control, more grounded, and more like yourself.
