Leadership
Meet the people behind ROAM's mission to expand access to affirming, trauma-informed care.
Hiromi "Romi" Ortega Roque
Founder, President & Lead Clinician
Romi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA LCSW #126338) and Sex Therapist with advanced training in sex therapy through the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified through the National Association of Perinatal Social Workers (NAPSW). She serves as President and Lead Clinician of ROAM.
Her work is shaped by years of clinical practice across medical, public health, and community-based settings. Romi brings particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities while maintaining an inclusive, individual-focused practice that recognizes how personal healing influences relationships, families, and broader systems across the lifespan.
Why a Nonprofit?
ROAM operates as a nonprofit because we believe that access to quality sex therapy and perinatal mental health care shouldn't depend on your income, insurance status, or zip code. The nonprofit model allows us to prioritize mission over profit, reinvesting resources into expanding services and reaching underserved communities.
For clients, this means working with clinicians whose primary commitment is to your wellbeing, not to billing quotas or shareholder returns. It means sliding scale options, community partnerships, and an organizational culture rooted in values of equity and access.
