Marieva Lopez

My communication style

I approach sessions with empathic and compassionate understanding, along with a direct, gentle approach. I create a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to feel more natural and express themselves freely in session without feeling the need to be professional.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a passion for helping people through difficult times. I enjoyed listening and helping friends, family, and peers with life stressors, and I turned this passion into a career. Being trusted to walk with someone on their journey of emotional growth is what drives me daily to do this work.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients in assisting them with creating and setting their own therapeutic goals. Together, we will create SMART goals; goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and have a timeline, in an effort to support clients in consistently tracking their progress throughout therapy.

Our first session

I'll take time to get to know you by building trust and rapport. My main focus is creating a warm and welcoming environment where you feel safe, heard, and comfortable sharing what brings you to therapy. We'll explore current life stressors, symptoms and feelings you're experiencing, your views of therapy, and what you expect from our sessions.
