Often rebooked
Hi, I’m Kathryn Lopez, LMFT, PMH-C, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, with an additional focus on sex and intimacy concerns within relationships. I work with individuals and couples navigating life transitions that impact identity, emotional connection, and relational well-being. My work is rooted in helping people feel more understood, more connected, and less alone in what they are carrying. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin creating meaningful change. I offer a space that is compassionate and supportive, where you do not have to have everything figured out to begin. Individual sessions are 50 minutes at $225. Couples sessions are 75 minutes at $275. A limited number of sliding scale spots are available based on availability. *All intake sessions (first sessions) are 50 minutes long.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a space to understand what is bringing you in and what you hope will change. We will explore what has been happening, what feels most difficult, and what support would feel most helpful. I will ask about your background, family dynamics, mental health history, relationships, and any previous experiences with therapy. Together, we will identify patterns and set clear goals so our work is focused, supportive, and meaningful.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I use an integrative, relational style that combines attachment based, psychodynamic, CBT, interpersonal, trauma informed, solution focused, and sex therapy informed approaches. I hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification and am completing advanced training as a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional. I am also trained in trauma processing, including the Flash Technique. My work is practical, compassionate, and results oriented.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I support individuals and couples across many stages of life, with a special focus on the perinatal period because of how deeply it can impact identity, emotional well-being, and relationships. Many of my clients are navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenthood, while others come to therapy during different life transitions or seasons of change. You do not need to be in the perinatal stage to work with me. I work with both women and men who are experiencing anxiety, relationship strain, changes in intimacy, identity shifts, or a desire for greater emotional connection and clarity. My clients are often reflective, motivated, and ready to grow, and I welcome you wherever you are in your journey.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients explore how their early relationships and family dynamics shape their experiences of parenthood, intimacy, and connection today. Together, we look at how these patterns may affect anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and relationship challenges during the perinatal period. My goal is to provide supportive insight and practical tools so clients can navigate this new chapter with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional security in their relationships with partners, children, and extended family.
Integrative
I take an integrative approach, drawing from a range of treatment methods to meet each client’s unique needs. Depending on what’s happening in your life and what you’re working through, I tailor sessions to provide the right balance of support, practical tools, and insight. My style is generally active and directive, and I offer thoughtful psychoeducation to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident as you navigate challenges.
Existential
I take an open and supportive approach to the deep questions and reflections that often arise during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This time of life can bring forward powerful themes around identity, meaning, purpose, freedom, responsibility, and connection. I provide a space to explore these questions thoughtfully and compassionately, and I welcome conversations that help clients make sense of the personal and relational changes that come with welcoming a child.
Sex Therapy
I help clients explore concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, and connection in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. My work integrates current best practices to address the challenges that can arise around sex during pregnancy, postpartum, and other major life transitions. I am currently pursuing advanced training to become a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP), deepening my ability to guide clients in navigating these sensitive and important areas of life.
Trauma Informed Care
I provide trauma-informed care that honors the unique experiences and histories each client brings, including how past wounds may surface during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and in intimate relationships. My approach is grounded in safety, consent, and collaboration, helping clients understand and gently work through triggers, anxiety, or trauma responses while feeling supported and empowered in this important chapter of life.
