Rebecca Lopez
My approach is a therapist who works collaboratively with clients to create a space that feels safe, respectful and grounded in authenticity. It is important that my clients feel emotionally safe, seen and empowered.
I work with adult children of immigrants who carry the emotional weight of their parent's journey and the intergenerational trauma shaped by sacrifice and survival.
I intend to create an environment where they can feel comfortable to navigate the challenging and difficult experiences they have endured throughout their life. My focus is on supporting clients as they learn to understand and manage their emotions, express their thoughts and feelings effectively, and explore how childhood experiences shape who we are today.
First session
You will enter a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, where you will feel heard and understood. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space, where you are free to move at a pace that is manageable for you. We may begin to explore important aspects of your background, relationships, identity, culture, trauma and stressors. Again, you share only what feels comfortable for you.
Strengths
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the balance I bring between managing emotions and meaningful change. I understand that healing is not just about reducing symptoms, it is also about helping clients better understand themselves, reconnect with their sense of agency and develop healthier ways of relating to their emotions, relationships, and life experiences.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to work with clients who are navigating challenges in relationships, particularly those experiencing ongoing family conflict, difficulty forming or maintaining healthy partnerships or feeling stuck in repetitive unhealthy relational patterns. I also support clients who struggle with setting boundaries, often feeling overwhelmed, overextended, or unsure of how to assert their needs without guilt or fear of conflict.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I have experience assisting clients identifying long-standing patterns in their life that are no longer serve a purpose, increasing their self-awareness and capacity for reflection. Through this process, client experience improved emotional regulation, and more meaningful relationships
