What Brandon P. Romano, Psy.D. & Associates does

Brandon P. Romano, Psy.D. & Associates is a private psychology and counseling practice founded in 2005 by Dr. Brandon P. Romano, Psy.D., MSCP, organized as a Louisiana LLC and operating from a main clinic in Baton Rouge and a satellite office in Kenner. The practice delivers two core service lines: comprehensive forensic and psycholegal evaluations (psychological, competency, risk/psychosexual, fitness-for-duty, sanity, substance use, ADHD, domestic violence, presurgical, and psychoeducational) and treatment services including individual counseling, group therapy, play therapy, TF-CBT, trauma therapy, and substance use treatment, with a specialized focus on justice-involved adults and juveniles — including juveniles adjudicated for sexual offenses. Services are delivered in-clinic, via Telehealth, and at offsite outreach locations across Louisiana (Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Port Allen, Gonzales, Hammond, New Orleans).

The practice's go-to-market is referral-driven, anchored by court and legal system referrals, child protective services, juvenile corrections facilities, and group homes across more than 13 Louisiana parishes, with a long-standing consultancy with the East Baton Rouge District Attorney's Office providing additional pipeline. Digital presence is minimal — a professional website and Facebook page — and the practice does not generally market individual counseling intake. The technical stack is intentionally lightweight: Telehealth video for remote sessions, an online appointment request form, and a Clover payment processor for patient billing. A dedicated Claims Specialist handles insurance billing, indicating fee-for-service professional services revenue with insurance reimbursement as a material payment channel.

The business employs approximately 16 staff (13 named clinical plus 3-4 administrative), including Dr. Romano, 5 LPCs, 1 LPC-S, 1 LCSW-BACS, 4 PLPCs, and 1 ATAP, with clinical specializations spanning play therapy, forensic interviewing, TF-CBT, IFS, Brainspotting, and treatment of juveniles with problematic sexual behaviors. Several PLPCs are concurrently pursuing doctorates, functioning as a built-in supervisory pipeline. The practice is independently owned, with no external investors or parent company, and Dr. Romano holds licensure in both Louisiana and Mississippi.
