Hello & Welcome! So very glad you are here. My name is Melissa Lopez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of direct practice experience. I specialize in trauma recovery. This can manifest in problem areas such as problem sexual behaviors, substance/alcohol abuse, depression/anxiety, social/work difficulties, perfectionism, self-harm, and/or self-esteem. Therapeutic work can include working through trauma events/memories, family of origin, relapse prevention, martial issues, social anxieties and depression. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome what is holding you back. I look forward to working with you on your journey of healing and wellness!
I strive to provide skills/tools/strategies to take away and use between each session. You should feel empowered to take steps towards your own wellness and healing even when sessions are not held.
- Wellness Recovery Model - Solution Focused - CBT/DBT/ACT - Motivational Interviewing - Empowerment towards autonomy - Spiritual inclusion, as applicable
You are the specialist of your own life. My role is to help guide you towards learning new skills/information that you can apply to your life and achieve goals you have set for yourself. I do specialize in helping persons affected by trauma, perfectionism, substance/alcohol abuse and problem sexual behaviors.
