My name is Felicia Burnett-Lopez, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years. I earned my Bachelors’ Degree in Psychology and earned my Masters’ Degree in Social Work. My education and experience include human behavior; environmental and biological psychology, substance abuse and addiction; understanding and working in mental health, with people with mental illnesses, within all populations.
My use of these modalities depends on the needs of my client, as treatment is individually tailored to fit the clients’ needs. I believe that the client is the expert of themselves, and my role as your counselor is to help you better understand yourself, and help you get to a place where you are a happier and healthier version of yourself. The one thing I ask of my clients is to be genuine, as I will always be genuine to you. Feel safe to vent your true feelings, as I will not judge you!
Therapy only works if you are willing and committed to actively participating in the therapeutic process. I look forward to working with you and helping you improve the quality of your life! I will be here for you, on your journey of recovery and wellness.
Being able to have someone who is unbiased and trained to help you process your thoughts, and become part of your support system, is why I chose this career. I enjoy the use of the psychodynamic approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, and client-centered therapy, which are all evidenced based practices.
I have worked with clients in mental health for over 15 years with the use of CBT, teaching clients to challenge their thinking and in turn make change is their behaviors and mood.
I am a psychodynamic therapist who also implements other modalities to meet the needs of the client.
