I am employed as a dual licensed therapist (MFT & LPCC) practicing in Fresno, California. I primarily serve our local community through a physical office and also provide group therapy with the sexual offender population. I'd consider the work with offenders offers me some insight related to grooming, porn consumption, offending cycle, and of benefit to parents who want to protect their kids, survivors who want to assert against future grooming, and general content around dating healthy in the digital age. Call/text (559) 242-6670 to speak directly to me. Theoretical models I apply include a cognitive behavioral model emphasizing how we can use behavior to get the changes you want. In practice, I've found this model to be accessible for first time clients, offer a practical conceptualization of therapy work, and all while offering an ease of going "deeper" as work may incorporate childhood experiences, attachment, and present day relational dynamics/transference. When I work with couples/families I utilize a structural model which emphasizes getting parents on the same team and building a functional hierarchy for the family unit. I emphasize the need for structure within the family, based on my work in-home with resource families, foster kids, and the consequences related to not having a constructive structure in the home. On the clinical side, every client will be offered a review of their treatment plan and asked for feedback which eliminates the mystery of therapy and ensures focus to the work by clearly defining goals and interventions. I have not seen it all but I have seen a lot. I've been working in mental health since I was 19 years old and learned a lot from all places I have been and people I have met. If you are interested, I welcome consults 24/7. Call/text: (559) 242-6670

I am a licensed clinical social worker in California. I hold a master's degree in Social Work and a master's degree in Psychology. I am currently a doctoral candidate completing my PhD in Media Psychology, where I focus on the latest research regarding the impact of social media on mental health. With over 16 years of professional experience, I have worked with individuals of all ages with diverse cultural backgrounds. My career is dedicated to helping individuals struggling with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I collaborate with the District Attorney/Victim Witness program to support those navigating legal challenges within the court system. Throughout my career, I have worked in private practice, psychiatric hospitals, a Native American charter high school with at-risk youth, and as a school-based therapist in a non-profit organization. I provide guidance to individuals seeking change, focusing on self-empowerment, self-esteem, and self-confidence techniques. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I customize sessions and treatment goals to address the unique and specific needs of each individual. It takes courage to embark on a journey towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life, and the initial steps toward change may seem daunting. I am here to facilitate your exploration of that journey and empower you through self-discovery and awareness.

Hello! My name is Natalia Lopez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #76095) with over 13 years of clinical experience. I earned two bachelor's degrees in Sociology and Chican@ studies from the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) and earned my Master's in Social Welfare from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). I am the daughter of immigrant parents from Mexico and was born and raised in Boyle Heights, CA. My therapeutic approach is inspired by the notion that by establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic partnership with my clients, I will carefully work towards creating space for any underlying hurt, stress, or pain someone may be experiencing. Together, developing greater insight into strengths and unresolved conflicts. I believe everything we need to live the life we want is already within us and we are the experts on our struggles and past hurt. The benefit of therapy is to provide the support, education, techniques, and coping strategies that can enhance our life circumstances and empower us to attain our personal goals.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take EAP:Evernorth?

Yes! If you use EAP:Evernorth you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:Evernorth you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
