My name is Shaghayegh “Shauna” Lopez and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (#89937). In my approach to therapy, I am dedicated to fostering a compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based environment that empowers individuals to navigate challenges, enhance insight and communication, and build stronger and more resilient relationships.
My approach
I utilize psychodynamic and humanistic approaches to enhance personal understanding as I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness to contribute to improving overall well-being.
My focus
I am looking forward to working with individuals challenged by managing daily stressors and needing support in enhancing the quality of their relationships with themselves and others.
My communication style
I provide a compassionate and safe space to allow my clients to show up as their authentic selves and tap into their values and beliefs to cultivate connection and inner strength.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always loved learning about myself and others and as I was evaluating career choices, I always found myself coming back to the power of connection, empowerment, teaching, and nurturing growth through advocacy, education, and guidance. I am driven as a therapist because I believe that with a deep connection, one can truly work on themselves to improve their self-esteem and self-worth which in turn enhances their daily life. The world can feel so scary and unpredictable and yet we have the skills and the ability to not just survive but thrive.
My goals for you
I work collaboratively with my clients to develop personal and attainable goals with the use of assessment and understanding of needs as I focus on empowerment, adaptability, and accountability to promote growth and development.
My first session with you
As a new client, please expect a warm and caring therapist who will review the information needed to create a safe and predictable therapeutic space, assessment, and information gathering as well as determine goals and next steps.
