Christina Lopez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christina!

I am a Spanish speaking marriage and family therapist. I enjoy providing support in work to decolonize your experience, placing boundaries within your specific cultural nuances, and navigating religious trauma.

My focus

My work is affirming of LGBTQIA+ individuals, nontraditional families and nontraditional relationships. I believe the therapy space, much like life, is best when you can make it completely your own.

My approach

I am here to be your partner along your new journey, and I know this has been an incredibly challenging time for you. You are not alone, and you do not have to feel this way forever. Asking for help is the first step in the journey to living your best life.

My communication style

I ask direct and open questions, you can rest assured that I will always be honest with kindness and curiosity.

My journey to mental healthcare

In 2018, I earned my master's degree from Mount Saint Mary's University in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Counseling in Spanish. I have dedicated much of my work to build an understanding of the specific cultural factors of therapy in Spanish.

My goals for you

I am also affirming of LGBTQIA+ individuals, nontraditional families, and nontraditional relationships. I believe the therapy space, much like life, is best when you can make it completely your own.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect that I will ask concrete questions to gather information about your stressors and your needs. I will provide a safe space for you to begin to trust me and allow me to learn about you so that you feel comfortable in therapy and look forward to our next session together.
