It’s important to talk about mental health because significantly more people are suffering in silence than realized. Pain is fundamental to the human condition and it’s only when we have the courage to speak about our challenges, and recognize our shared suffering, that we become aware of the fact that we’re not alone.

She is also a professor at Yeshiva University’s clinical psychology doctoral program where she teaches advanced doctoral candidates about principles of group theory and practice.
Dr. Romanoff has worked as a researcher exploring how cognitive deficits predict negative emotionality and aggression in individuals with schizophrenia.
